The cast of Ten Days In the Valley also features Erika Christensen (Parenthood), Malcolm Jamal-Warner (American Crime Story: The People VS. OJ Simpson, The Cosby Show), Emily Kinney (The Walking Dead) & Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Game of Thrones, Suicide Squad, Lost). Tassie Cameron (Rookie Blue) serves as writer and showrunner.
