And Syzmanowicz is RiRi: "A vibrant and fun-loving member of the cheerleading squad, RiRi is often the pawn in Addy (Herizen Guardiola) and Beth's friendship drama. Saddled by a very ambitious mother who has huge dreams and high expectations for her, RiRi is anxious for freedom and eager to rise in her squad." (Deadline.com)
TRUTH BE TOLD (Apple TV+) - Octavia Spencer and Brian Clisham's Orit Entertainment has signed a three-year overall deal with 20th Century Fox Television. The pact covers all future output from the company, which is behind upcoming Spencer-led Apple TV+ series. (Deadline.com)
