FreeForm has officially began production on "Good Trouble," the spinoff to the critically acclaimed drama "The Fosters," in Los Angeles. Broadway alums Roger Bart and Emma Hunton have joined the cast of the upcoming series.

The series, which was announced earlier this year, will follow Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) as they embark on the next phase of their young adult lives in Los Angeles.

Roger Bart ("A Series of Unfortunate Events") will portray conservative Judge Wilson for whom Callie is clerking.

Rounding out the cast are Emma Hunton ("Happy Endings"), who will portray Davia, a no holds barred teacher who also lives at The Coterie, and Ken Kirby ("The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo"), who will portray Benjamin, a conservative fellow clerk who works with Callie.
