The Disney+ series reboot of the classic movie Holes is adding more to its cast. Greg Kinnear, Aidy Bryant, and Shay Rudolph have joined the cast of the pilot. The series is based on the 1998 book Holes from Louis Sachar. Joining them in the cast are Flor Delis Alicea, Anire Kim Amoda, Noah Cottrell, Iesha Daniels, Sophie Dieterlen, Alexandra Doke, and Maeve Press.
The series is written by Alina Mankin and showran by Liz Phang. Here’s the synopsis of the series.
Holes follows Hayley (Rudolph), a teenage girl sent to a detention camp where the ruthless Warden (Kinnear) forces the campers to dig holes for a mysterious purpose.
Kinnear plays The Warden, the boss at Camp Yucca, with a flair for manipulation and getting the upper hand on his campers. He has created a camp ideology to explain the virtue of having girls dig holes, but this is actually a ruse; he is really forcing the girls to labor for a mysterious purpose.
Bryant plays Sissy, who is overflowing with camp counselor energy. She seems like a trustworthy big sister figure to the girls, but as a true believer of The Warden’s philosophy, her allegiance lies with him.
Hayley plays Hayley, who arrives at Camp Yucca after being wrongly accused. She’s full of heart and tired of her family’s belief that fate is fixed; her arrival will inject new hope and optimism into her campmates.
Alicea plays Queenie, the tough queen bee, a seemingly fearless leader whose hard edges cover up her vulnerability.
Amoda plays Thumbelina, who is bold and not scared of anything or anyone, not even The Warden.
Cottrell plays Kitch, who works in the kitchen at Camp Yucca. He is a stickler for the rules, but we’ll soon learn there is secret, deeper reason he’s intent on maintaining his job.
Daniels plays Mars, a brainy, charismatic, no-nonsense, and a bit of a player among the queer female campers.
Dieterlen plays Sticky, an ever-daydreaming girly-girl with a kind heart and an abiding passion for clothes, but she can be serious and driven when needed.
Doke plays Eyeball, a mischievous, zany artist who sees the world in her own idiosyncratic way and often lightens a heavy mood with a joke.
Press plays Shrimp, the youngest and smallest of the campers, and her unusual, blunt nature makes her an outcast amongst the girls.
The original 2003 movie starred Shia LeBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, and Jon Voight.
