THE FLORIDA PROJECT'S Brooklynn Prince Cast as Lead in Apple Series

THE FLORIDA PROJECT'S Brooklynn Prince has been cast as the lead of the Apple series based on the life of Hilde Lysiak, according to Variety.

The series follows a young girl (Prince) who moves from Brooklyn to the small lakeside town her father left behind. While there, her dogged pursuit of the truth leads her to unearth a cold case that everyone in town, including her own father, tried hard to bury.

The series is created and executive produced by Dana FOX and Dara Resnik, with Joy Gorman Wettels, Sharlene Martin, and Jon M. Chu also executive producing. Chu will also direct.

The series is inspired by Lysiak's true story. She was the first to expose a murder in her hometown of Selinsgrove, PA, breaking the news in her self-started newspaper, Orange Street News. In the face of negative feedback from online commenters, Lysiak fought back, taking her story viral. Today, Lysiak works with young voices in an effort to empower the next generation of influencers, activists, and leaders.

Prince is best known for her role of Moonee in "The Florida Project." She can soon be seen in "The One and Only Ivan," "The Angry Birds Movie 2," and "The Turning."
