In addition to Grimes, the show stars Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen again Logan Marshall Green. A sneak peek showed Kayce discussing new beginnings, bones in her closet and past traumas – while Monica was nowhere to be found.
“We really wanted to make sure we gave it a real story and made it compelling and made it believable,” Grimes told PEOPLE in June 2025 about the Marshalls. “If it was like, ‘Well, he’s happy’ – we’re just going to see him happy? That’s not fair at all. But I will say this, the idea that was given to me is very good and very interesting and it really engaged me and I think it will engage the audience as well.”
He added: “There will be some familiar faces. There will be a lot of new faces, so we’ll see how it all feels. Going back to it in a new environment will be kind of a change.”
