The anthology series pilot based on Brett Weiner's New York Times Op-Docs digital series that will first tackle the college admissions scandal has also cast J.R. Cacia. The pilot episode follows the story of the 2019 college admissions scandal, but the roles of the new cast members haven't been revealed. "Because of the series’ anthology nature, I hear that, except for Messina, who is expected to link the different cases throughout the series, the rest of the cast are guest stars for the pilot only," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva.
