Cast and characters

Production

Britne Oldford and Lyndon Smith were cast in the pilot as Sandra Black and Allison Anderson, respectively.[6] Both roles were later recast with Britt Robertson as Black (renamed Sandra Bell)[7] and Jasmin Savoy Brown as Anderson (renamed Allison Adams).[8] After re-shooting the pilot and shooting the second episode with the new actresses, production was temporarily shut down in September 2017 in order to rewrite existing scripts for the rest of the season to adjust the show to Robertson and Brown's new dynamic.[9] Filming for the second season began on September 23, 2018.[10]
