The new cast members include Josh Dallas (Manifest), Costa D’Angelo (Tell Me Lies), Peyton List (The Rookie), Madison Wolfe (True Detective), Parker Lapaine (House of the Dragon), and Elysia Roorbach (The Pitt), all of whom will feature prominently in the narrative inspired by E.

Season 2 follows Cadence (Lind) as she returns to Beechwood to confront her past. In her quest for truth, she uncovers the Sinclair Sisters’ secrets from the summer of 1999—an era marked by first love, rivalry, and murder. The narrative will include flashbacks featuring Carrie (Lapaine), Penny (Roorbach), and Bess (Wolfe) navigating their youthful challenges while reflecting on their historical experiences.
