Jessica Belkin plays his daughter Charlie Vale, who arrives wanting to continue the family legacy. Other cast members include Hassie Harrison, Thaddeus LaGrone, Brooks Nader, and Noah Beck. Original series star David Chokachi reprises his role as Cody Madison.
Matt Nix serves as showrunner, with executive producers including McG, Michael Berk, Greg Bonann, Doug Schwartz, Dante Di Loreto, and Mike Horowitz. The series is a co-production between Fox and Fremantle. Filming will take place on Los Angeles beaches, supported by a $21.1 million California tax incentive.
Mitchell is also known for her roles in Netflix's 'You' and Hulu's 'Dollface', and is the founder of travel and lifestyle brand Béis. She is represented by Linden Entertainment, WME, and Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks.
