CBS' Young Sheldon; HBO's Euphoria; HBO Max's Rap Sh*t; Netflix's Wednesday; and Starz's The Serpent Queen.
STARZ's THE SERPENT QUEEN
- Sennia Nanua has joined the cast of the upcoming drama starring Samantha Morton. She has previously starred in the films The Girl With All the Gifts, The Fight and Frankie.
- She will play Rahima, the young servant girl who is assigned to wait on Catherine (Morton). She is abused and shunned by the palace staff but would prefer any such treatment to a one-on-one meeting with the evil Queen. And rightly so. We see that Catherine has an active interest in Rahima. She is not just looking for a willing ear for the defense she is making to the history books. She is intent on showing how a good, God-fearing girl like Rahima could also be corrupted to commit bad deeds if pushed around enough.
HBO's EUPHORIA
- Minka Kelly, Dominic Fike and Demetrius "Lil Meech" Flenory Jr. have booked recurring roles on the drama's upcoming second season. Kelly currently stars in HBO Max's Titans, which returns for its third season next week. Fike is a singer-songwriter who was featured in an episode of FX's The New York Times Presents. Flenory Jr. stars in Starz's upcoming BMF, which premieres next month.
- No details were immediately announced about the characters they will be playing.

NETFLIX's WEDNESDAY
- Luis Guzmán will guest star on the upcoming drama starring Jenna Ortega. He previously starred for three seasons in CBS' Code Black and one season in Epix's Perpetual Grace, LTD. He has also recurred on Netflix's Narcos, Showtime's Shameless and Epix's Godfather of Harlem.

- Jahava will play Jill, Shawna's friend from college. She currently works at Spotify in New York and is big on networking new young artists, but mostly focuses on those that get traction.
