Now, following the announcement of a second season containing nine episodes, the show is planning to add a few new cast members.

As for the descriptions of this trio, Max is supposed to be a 13-year-old tomboy who likes skateboarding. She has a difficult relationship with her stepbrother, Billy. Roman, whose gender hasn’t been disclosed, is described as a man or woman in their 30s who is seeking revenge after a tough childhood and a mother with a drug addiction.
As for Billy, he’s described as a 17-year-old who “steals people’s girlfriends” and drives a Black Camaro. Per THR, Billy has a “violent and unpredictable nature that shows itself to those closest to him, especially to ones who are younger than him.”
