They are joined in the cast by Melanie Leishman (Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil, Mrs. America) in the role of the sister; Iain Stewart (Reign) as the brother, and Juan Chioran (Sneakerella, Hotel Transylvania – The Series) as Frank. Sharron Matthews (Mean Girls) also features in the cast.
Producing the project are Matt Schichter and Micheal Lomenda, alongside co-producer Johnathan Sharp.“We couldn’t be more excited for Caden to bring this wickedly funny script to life with this wildly talented cast. From the moment we read it, we knew it was the kind of elevated genre project we want to support at HighballTV – bold storytelling with a clear vision, made by an exceptional team,” said HighballTV’s Development Executive Melissa D’Agostino.
