Rachel Naomi Hilson has joined the cast of Disney+ series “Love, Simon” as a series regular in a recasting, TheWrap has learned.
Hilson replaces previously cast actress Johnny Sequoyah as Mia, who Disney+ describes as the “whip-smart friend with a quick and easy laugh” of main character Victor, played by “Annabelle Comes Home” actor Michael Cimino.
The series adaptation is set in the same world as the 2018 feature of the same name, which starred Nick Robinson. Both are based on Becky Albertalli’s New York Times bestselling novel.
Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger will serve as showrunners. The pair also wrote the screenplay for the movie, and serve as executive producers and co-showrunners of NBC comedy series “This Is Us.” The series comes from 20th Century Fox TV, part of Disney TV Studios.
