The upcoming Suits spinoff fronted by Gina Torres has added some new series regulars to its cast.
According to Deadline, One Tree Hill favorite, Bethany Joy Lenz has signed up to replace Rebecca Rittenhouse in a recasting.
Rittenhouse played Keri Allen on an episode of Suits Season 7, and the character butted heads with Torres' Jessica Pearson.
There's no word yet on why the recasting occurred, but it's not uncommon for shows to recast so early into the process.
Also on board for the Chicago-set offshoot is Chantel Riley (Wynonna Earp), Isabel Arraiza (The Oath), and Eli Goree (Riverdale).
They join a cast that already includes Simon Kassianides and Morgan Spector.
