‘Holes’: Greg Kinnear, Aidy Bryant, Shay Rudolph to Lead Disney+ Series!!

The Disney+ remake of Louis Sachar’s famous 1998 novel, Holes, has found its main cast. Deadline reports that Greg Kinnear, Shay Rudolph, and Aidy Bryant have been tapped to star in leading roles in Holes, which was written by Alina Mankin with Liz Phang acting as the showrunner. Seven others have also joined the cast of Holes, including Flor Delis Alicea (Love the Skin You’re In), Anire Kim Amoda (The Penguin), Noah Cottrell (The Spiderwick Chronicles), Iesha Daniels (Zora and the Zebra), Sophie Dieterlen, Alexandra Doke, and Maeve Press. The show will follow Haley (Rudolph), a teenage girl sent to a detention camp where The Warden (Kinnear) forces the campers to dig holes for an unknown reason.

Other character details, in addition to Rudolph and Kinnear, have also been released for the Disney+ Holes series. Alicea will star as Queenie, a tough and seemingly fearless leader who covers up her true fears with a rugged exterior. Amoda will play Thumbelina, the bold and often reckless camp member who isn’t afraid of any other campers, especially not the Warden. Cottrell will play a kitchen worker who is a strict rule-follower, but it’s soon revealed that his true reason for being at camp is darker than it seems. Daniels will play Mars, a charismatic camper among the group of females, and Dieterlen will portray Sticky, a daydreaming girly-girl who can be serious and stern when she needs to. Doke has been cast in the role of Eyeball, an artist who loves a good joke, and Press will play Shrimp, the youngest of the group of campers.
