· Artist/entertainer Saweetie will also join the cast this season.

· Bet joins other Netflix productions that have filmed in Toronto including, Vladimir, Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, Wayward and the upcoming season of Ginny & Georgia.

· Quote from Saweetie: "There's a psychological edge to the world of Bet that immediately brought me in and the character instantly called to me. The fact it's rooted in manga, this Japanese storytelling tradition that's been shaping street culture and fashion for years, is what sealed it. Bet, like me, doesn't play it safe."
