Several new cast members have been added to the lineup for the true crime love story series titled The Resort, from Palm Springs writer Andy Siara and Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail. Luis Gerardo Méndez (Narcos: Mexico, Murder Mystery), Nina Bloomgarden (Hot Pink, Jane), and Gabriela Cartol (La Camarista, Hernán) are set as series regulars, and Debby Ryan (Insatiable), Dylan Baker (Happiness), Michael Hitchcock (Black Monday, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar), and Becky Ann Baker (Girls, Freaks and Geeks) will recur in the ensemble series.
“The Resort is a multi-generational, coming-of-age love story disguised as a fast-paced mystery about the disappointment of time. An anniversary trip puts a marriage to the test when the couple finds themselves embroiled in one of the Mayan Riviera’s most bizarre unsolved mysteries that took place fifteen years prior.”
Here’s the character descriptions:
-
Méndez will play Baltasar Frías, the head of security at the Oceana Vista Resort in 2007. He’s always in detective mode, quietly suspicious of all activity, and somehow connected to all of the unusual events in 2007.
-
Bloomgarden will portray Violet Thompson, who is vacationing with her father and his girlfriend at the Oceana Visa Resort.
-
Cartol is Luna, the concierge at the Emma and Noah’s resort. Prior to becoming the concierge, Luna was in housekeeping at the Oceana Vista Resort back in 2007 prior to its abrupt closure.
-
Ryan will recur as Sam’s girlfriend, Hannah; Baker as Sam’s dad, Carl Knowlston; Hitchcock will play Ted, who’s here on vacation with his husband, also named Ted and Baker will play Sam’s mom, Jan Knowlston.
This sounds like an interesting series from a couple of great creative minds. Does is sound like a show you’ll be excited to watch?
