Per Deadline, Justin Chatwin and Megan Ketch have been cast as two of the leads in “American Gothic,” created by Corinne Brinkerhoff.
The series centers on the Hawthornes, a prominent Boston family that is attempting to redefine itself in the wake of a chilling discovery that links their recently deceased patriarch to a string of murders spanning decades, amid the mounting suspicion that one of them may have been his accomplice.
Chatwin will play Cam Hawthorne, a sensitive, introspective artist and recovering drug addict who begins to realize that his 8-year-old son has a serious, terrifying problem – and ultimately seeks comfort in the arms of his manipulative but magnetic ex-wife, a fellow addict.
As for Ketch, she will be playing the youngest of the Hawthorne siblings, Tessa, a bright, nurturing public school teacher who soon finds herself deeply conflicted about how to handle a chilling discovery linked to her family.
Brinkerhoff executive produces with Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, James Frey, and Todd Cohen.
