Deadline has revealed the cast for the Peacock remake of Crypt TV’s The Girl in the Woods.

Stefanie Scott will play the lead, Carrie, with Misha Osherovich  and Sofia Bryant as series regulars. Will Yun Lee, Kylie Liya Page, Reed Diamond and Leonard Roberts will be recurring characters.

Scott’s Carrie, the central character in the original. She flees a cult-like colony and finds herself fighting to stay safe in the previously sleepy, small town of West Pine in the Pacific Northwest.

Lee will play Arthur Deane aka ‘AD.’, Carrie’s former mentor turned foe who is tasked with hunting her down and returning her to the colony so she can face the consequence of her desertion.

Osherovich is Nolan, the child of environmental activists embroiled in the town debate about the safety of the local mine and a bullied teen exploring gender identity. Nolan is suspicious of Carrie and the strange forces that begin to haunt West Pine after her arrival.

Bryant will play Tasha, the child of miners . Despite their parents’ differences, Tasha and Nolan are best friends albeit friends who react very differently to Carrie’s arrival. Where Nolan is initially sceptical Tasha immediately looks to help Carrie and learn more about the mysterious colony.

Diamond will play Hosea, the leader of the colony in the woods tasked with protecting its secrets, and upholding the ridged rules of the community’s sacred institution.

Roberts plays Alex, Tasha’s father and leader of the West Pine miners. Alex is naturally caring and welcomes Carrie. But he faces major financial hardship and pressure around potential mine closings. Pressure that could make him vulnerable to temptations from the colony.

Page plays Sara – Carrie’s former best friend and flame from the Colony. Carrie and Sara have a long and complicated history – one that haunts Carrie as she builds new relationships with Tasha and Nolan.
