One of Us Is Lying has a sizzling cast, and the new trailer is stirring up conversations all over social media. Directing the first episode of the series is the impressive Jennifer Morrison, who is best known for her acting roles in House and Once Upon a Time. She previously directed an episode of the acclaimed HBO series Euphoria, which featured an Emmy Award–winning performance by Zendaya. And did we mention the hot cast?! Marianly Tejada is starring as Bronwyn, Cooper van Grootel as Nate, Annalisa Cochrane as Addy, and Chibuikem Uche as Cooper. Mark McKenna, an Irish actor and musician, was the last to join the cast as Simon, the brainy outcast and creator of a gossip app that holds the entire school captive.
