In a statement about the casting news, Henrie says, "I'm so stoked to have Madison on board at such an exciting time in her career. Madison has the ability to give a deeply layered performance which is the exact quality I was looking for because her character is one that's dealing with complex emotions stemming from a deep desire to break free from the labels she's been branded with in high school."
