Josh Hutcherson has joined Rachel Sennott’s upcoming HBO comedy series in a recasting, Variety has learned.
Hutcherson will take over one of the lead roles, which was played by Miles Robbins in the series’ pilot, as the role underwent changes after the pilot was shot and the show was greenlit. Sennott also stars in the untitled series along with Odessa A’zion, Jordan Firstman, and True Whitaker. Leighton Meester and Quenlin Blackwell guest star.
