Rob Lowe Netflix Sitcom Rounds Out Cast; New PLL Premieres July 28 on HBO Max

Netflix announces cast for Unstable, joining Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe in new scripted comedy. Sian Clifford, Rachel Marsh, Emma Ferreira and Aaron Branch will join as series regulars in series created by the Lowes and Victor Fresco. Fred Armisen, Tom Allen and JT Parr join as recurring guest stars. Unstable follows an introverted son (John Owen Lowe) who goes to work for his very successful, wildly eccentric father (Rob Lowe) in order to save him and his successful biotech company from disaster. It is inspired by Rob and John Owen Lowe's social media relationship, in which John Owen often humorously trolls his dad.
· Sian Clifford (Fleabag, Life After Life, Quiz) will play Anna, the Chief Financial Officer of the company run by Ellis (Rob Lowe), who has been with him since its founding. Strong, smart, opinionated, and one hundred percent loyal to her boss, Anna is one of the only people in Ellis's life who can go toe-to-toe with him.
· Rachel Marsh (Head of the Class, Just Beyond, iCarly) will play Luna, a genius biotech engineer who works in the lab with her friend and research partner Ruby (see below). Shy and awkward, Luna is happy to let her more outgoing partner do the talking for the two of them.
· Emma Ferreira (Transplant, Learn to Swim, Midnight at the Paradise) will play Ruby, also a biotech genius (let's just stipulate everyone who works here is a friggin' genius). Ruby is outgoing, friendly, and accessible ... the opposite of Luna.
· Aaron Branch (Lining, Kenan, Millennials) will play Malcolm, longtime friend of Jackson (John Owen Lowe). He's the project manager for the game-changing venture the company has been working on. An extrovert who is actually insecure since he's a non-scientist in a world of scientific geniuses.
· Fred Armisen (Our Flag Means Death, Los Espookys, Portlandia) will play Leslie, Ellis's board-appointed therapist who is desperate to be liked.
· Tom Allen (Barry, Old Dads) and JT Parr (Hawaii Five-O, Real Bros Of Simi Valley) will play TJ (Allen) and Chaz (Parr), not very bright brothers who only have each other and are adversaries to Ellis. They got their board position because their rich father helped fund Ellis's company.

The Max Original series, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, will debut its ten-episode season on Thursday, July 28 with three episodes. Two new episodes will follow on August 4 and 11, with the final three episodes debuting August 18. Executive produced and written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Riverdale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and co-executive produced and written by Lindsay Calhoon Bring (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), this dark take on the teen melodrama introduces a new generation of Liars who are tormented by A -- a masked killer hellbent on punishing them for the sins of their mothers, as well as their own.
Twenty years ago, a series of tragic events almost ripped the blue-collar town of Millwood apart. Now, in present day, a disparate group of teen girls — a brand-new set of Little Liars — find themselves tormented by an unknown Assailant and made to pay for the secret sin committed by their parents two decades ago...as well as their own. In the dark, coming-of-age, horror-tinged drama Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, we find ourselves miles away from Rosewood, but within the existing Pretty Little Liars universe — in a brand-new town, with a new generation of Little Liars. Cast: Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco star as our new generation of Liars. The series also stars Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Elena Goode, Lea Salonga, Eric Johnson, and Alex Aiono.
