— * ᴛᴜɴᴇ ɪɴ ᴀᴛ 𝟔/𝟕 ᴄᴇɴᴛʀᴀʟ !

In order to celebrate, executive producer Lane Ortiz has invited the cast out for drinks on Thursday night at an exclusive bar in Hollywood. Some of the new comers to Hollywood might be surprised to pull up to a curb and be met by flashing lights and photographers. Warmest welcome to Hollywood! At the end of the night, Lane gathers the cast around for a surprise.

To encourage team bonding and in order to create a more authentic feel to the friendship between the six, the cast is being sent to Chicago for one week. They will live together in an airb&b that the studio has paid for. They are expected to cook and clean for themselves, and will be given a total stipend of $2,500 each (cast members are welcome to spend their own money if they care to, but the studio will only expense up to 2.5k). The studio wants the group to really get to know each other, so that when the cameras start rolling they can have a very authentic on-screen friendship.

***admin note: we just wanted to say how grateful we are for the interest in this group. obviously, this was a difficult choice (hence us taking literally 3 hours to accept) and we wish we could accept everyone, but our goal in all this was to create a small writing group. we never expected to get so many wonderful apps for such a small amount of muses, so if you took the time to apply, THANK YOU !! you are wonderful, and this is no testament to your ability to create amazing characters. seriously who are we to judge...we were just saying how if we were the ones applying we probably wouldn’t have even gotten in. 

please send in your accounts within 24 hours ! 

MUSE A — ESMERAY  ‘  ESME  ’  DEMIRCI has been cast as VICTORIA SAHIN (played by isabelle)

this was an insanely difficult choice but dang it isabelle you really blew us out of the water. your characterization of character a was golden and hit the nail on the head. also, the way we screamed when you said cheddar the dog sdklajf we can not wait to see what you have in store for esme and victoria ! and also .... we don’t be mad at andrew garfield if he wasn’t to visit set once in a while dasdsfa

MUSE C — RAVI PRASAD has been cast as JAI NARAYAN (played by bren)

are you kidding me ... this was another tough choice but we are both in agreement when we say that we both had a crush on ravi by the end of reading this app. from the mini screenplay you included to the articles about each stage of his life, we were hooked ! not to give way to the man behind the curtain but while i was geeking to simran about these apps, she said “wait til u on brens....im shitting bricks” so i think that says something. 

MUSE D — SONYA BUTALA has been cast as JO REDDY (played by chloe)

our toughest decision fell to the muse with the most apps, but after careful consideration, sonya really stood out to us. we love her back story and the way she decided to take control of her life. we love her confidence & her deep insecurities. we think she’ll be an amazing addition to the group and we are very excited to have you, chloe ! 

MUSE F — SLOANE PEARSON has been cast as MARGARET ‘ MAGGIE’ HAYNES (played by brynn)
