Jake Lacy and Alison Brie have been cast in the upcoming series Apples Never Fall.
The White Lotus actor and Promising Young Woman actress have joined previously-announced castmates Annette Bening and Sam Neill in the TV adaptation of Liane Moriarty's novel Apples Never Fall, according to Variety.
The upcoming miniseries will centre on the Delaneys, a wealthy family with four grown children who suddenly experience the disappearance of their mother, Joy.
Bening and Neill have been cast as the Delaney parents - Joy and Stan, respectively. Lacy has signed on to portray the second-oldest Delaney child Troy and Brie to portray the oldest child Amy.
Apples Never Fall's official synopsis reads, "When Joy suddenly disappears, her children have to re-examine their parents' marriage and their family history with fresh and terrified eyes. Set against the backdrop of competitive tennis, this story takes us into a family's darkest secrets and asks, 'Can we ever really know the people closest to us?'"
After the casting news was announced, GLOW star Brie posted a screengrab of the article on her Instagram Stories and added, "Very excited about this!"
On Twitter, she quote-tweeted the announcement, writing, "Cannot WAIT."
The series will be filmed in Australia.
Moriarty's novels Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers have already been adapted into TV shows, while a movie adaptation of The Husband's Secret is in the works.
