Robinson then is Sheriff Louise Floss, "the longtime public servant of Mt. Echo. She's seen it all. That is, until the moment Leni goes missing. Sheriff Floss' unflappable demeanor will be challenged in every way by the events set in motion by the twins." And Zayas will play Deputy Paula Martinez: "She has enjoyed her first year working in the sleepy town of Mt. Echo where the crimes are as mild as the weather. But when her new friend Leni disappears, the true character of Mt. Echo reveals itself - and she finds herself caught in the middle." (Deadline.com)

(Deadline.com)
REBOOT (Hulu) - Calum Worthy has scored a role opposite Keegan-Michael Key and Johnny Knoxville in the comedy pilot as Zack: "Fifteen years ago, Zack played the kid on the family sitcom Step Right Up. A self-described 'hyphenate movie star/hip hop artist,' Zack covers his insecurities with a false bravado." (Deadline.com)
