AMAZON's PANIC

They replace Will Chase, Kevin Alves and Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut, respecitvely, who all starred in the original pilot but will not be continuing with the series. Moreover, Bonnie Bedelia, Moira Kelly, Nancy McKeon and Rachel Bay Jones will recur in the first season.
  • Murciano (Bloodline) will play Sheriff Kean, a man who wears the mantle of his office heavily. He is haunted by loss, alienated from his grieving wife, and single-mindedly focused on the one thing he can control: putting a stop to the game.
  • Jones (Elephant Department) will play Bishop, a good kid - anyone in Carp would tell you that. Affable, funny and sweet, he is an all-around athlete and solid A student. He fulfills the expectations of both the community and his father, the Chief Justice of the County Court. But a lifetime of inherited pressure has begun to take its toll.
  • Sula (Split) will play Natalie. Her aspirations include a move to California and the fulfillment of her dead mother's dream to become an actress. The loftiness of her ambitions and her disregard for practicalities belie the discipline and perceptiveness born of growing up a Deputy Sheriff's daughter.

She is having an affair with Sheriff Kean.
  • Jones (Dear Evan Hansen) will play Sherri Nill. A single mother at seventeen, she has been roughed around by life and seeks refuge in the wrong places - notably booze, drugs and bad men.
