Taron joins returning cast members Odessa A'zion, Jordan Firstman, Josh Hutcherson, and True Whitaker, along with new additions Jamie Chung, Benjamin Norris, Dylan Arnold, Jessy Hodges, and Milan Carter.
The series centers on Rachel's character Maia, a young talent manager trying to make it in Los Angeles when her university friend Tallulah, a rising influencer played by Odessa, arrives in the city.

Taron recently appeared in the Netflix thriller Apex, where he played Ben, a disturbed Australian hunter pursuing rock climber Sasha (Charlize Theron).
