Per the official logline, “In this reimagining of the beloved 1998 book from Louis Sachar, a teenage girl is sent to a detention camp where the ruthless Warden forces the campers to dig holes for a mysterious purpose.” The book was notably adapted into the feature film of the same name in 2003, starring Shia LaBeouf, and was also produced by Walt Disney Pictures. According to Variety, the show has added 10 actors to its cast.
Greg Kinnear
Greg Kinnear will portray The Warden, the boss at Camp Yucca who has 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.”
He is best known for his role as Simon Bishop in 1997’s As Good as It Gets and Richard Hoover in the 2006 film Little Miss Sunshine. Other credits include Sabrina, You’ve Got Mail, You Gotta Believe, Shining Vale, You, Black Bird, The Stand, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, House of Cards, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, and The Last Song.
Aidy Bryant
Saturday Night Live alum Aidy Bryant will play 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.”
Bryant was a cast member on SNL for 10 seasons, joining in Season 38 in 2012 and leaving at the end of Season 47 in 2022. Other credits include The Big Sick, I Feel Pretty, Shrink, Girls, Danger & Eggs, Shrill, and Human Resources.

Rudolph can most recently be seen in the family comedy film The Present, which also coincidentally starred Kinnear.

Anire Kim Amoda

Amoda actually only made her acting debut in 2024, appearing on an episode of Max’s The Penguin starring Colin Farrell. She also starred in the drama thriller The Snare alongside Dominic Bogart, Sojourner Brown, and Dempsey Bryk, which released in March.

The role marks her television debut, and her acting debut as well.
