Bailee Madison (Imogen)

“I'm one of the biggest fans of the original, so to all my fellow OG fans, there was so much care and caution when it came to creating this show. Hopefully it will be just as iconic and fun and enticing ... as the original, except a hell of a lot darker.” Karolina Wojtasik/HBO Max

Zaria (Faran)

“I don't know what can prepare you. This show is such a fresh take on the universe, so I think the best preparation is turning on HBO Max and pressing play.”

Chandler Kinney (Tabby)

“Enter this with an open heart. These are beautifully written and portrayed characters that have really, really important stories to tell.”

Maia Reficco (Noa)

“We worked so hard on this show to pay our respects and truly honor such a beloved show. I just hope people feel connected to it — to some character, to some story, and if that's the case then our job’s done.” Karolina Wojtasik/HBO Max

Mallory Bechtel (Karen and Kelly)

“If you're prone to getting scared, make sure all the lights are on, and get ready for some fun.” Barbara Nitke/HBO Max

Malia Pyles (Minnie)

“We really do embrace the horror in this show and we actually pay a lot of respect to older shows and movies — there [are] so many references, so if you're a movie buff or if you want to brush up on your slashers, you might see a couple nods to them in this show.” Karolina Wojtasik/HBO Max
