Travis is known for roles in such series as The Kominsky Method and Mr. Mercedes, and films ranging from So I Married an Axe Murderer to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, among many others. Jones co-starred in the recent film What Men Want, and has been seen on such series as The Rookie, 9-11: Lone Star, Rebel and Castle.

Mitchell will also soon be seen in Sarah Polley's film Women Talking, having previously appeared on What We Do in the Shadows and the web series Creepy Bits. Hughes is best known for her role as Sheridan Pickett on the Spectrum original series Joe Pickett.

Powell will also soon be seen in Kingdom Story Company's drama The Unbreakable Boy, starring Zachary Levi.
