Five new faces have joined the cast of Netflix’s Wayward. The upcoming limited series, formerly titled Tall Pines, will feature Patrick Adams, Sydney Topliffe, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Patrick Gallagher, and Josh Close.

Topliffe and Lind will have series regular roles, while Lind, Gallagher, and Close will be recurring guest stars. The new additions join the previously cast Sarah Gadon and Brandon Jay McLaren. Creator Mae Martin also stars in the series and will write the episodes and serve as showrunner.

Deadline revealed the following about the Netflix series:

The eight-episode Wayward is a thriller set in a bucolic but sinister town that explores the insidious underbelly of the “troubled teen industry” and the eternal struggle between one generation and the next.

Topliffe and Lind are playing best friends Abbie and Leila; Adams plays a high school counselor, I hear.

The premiere date for Wayward will be announced later, but production is set to start soon.
