- Emily Rudd, Skyler Maxon, Keenan Tracey and Maria Dizzia have landed the lead roles on the drama pilot written by Liz Sczudlo. Additionally, Chris Grismer has signed on to direct and executive produce. The project follows Miranda Merchant (Rudd), a teen girl on a journey to reunite with her estranged mother Amelia (Dizzia), who lives on a seemingly idyllic island off the coast of New England. As Miranda settles into island life, she finds herself torn between TJ (Tracey), heir to one of the oldest Selkie families, and mysterious bad boy Leo (Maxon), who is part of the working class townies. When Miranda learns about the Seawalkers, who according to local legend, are half human and half sea creature, she begins to believe that they could be real. As she uncovers more about her family's past, Miranda makes a startling discovery about her own connections to the Seawalkers.
