The cast for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s film adaptation of the musical Octet has been revealed.
Miranda took to his Instagram to reveal the star-studded cast list for his movie adaptation of the Dave Malloy musical on Tuesday. He posted a photo of a rehearsal sign-in sheet, which features the eight names of the main cast members.
Amanda Seyfried, Rachel Zegler, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Phillipa Soo, Gaten Matarazzo, Jonathan Groff, Tramell Tillman and Paul-Jordan Jansen make up the movie’s cast. They will play the roles of Jessica, Velma, Paula, Karly, Toby, Henry, Marvin and Ed, respectively.
“Rehearsals have begun,” Miranda wrote in the post’s caption.
Zegler shared an acknowledgment of her casting in the post’s comment section, simply writing, “hey.”
Soo and Groff’s casting mark a Hamilton reunion. Miranda, of course, created the musical phenomenon and originated the titular role on Broadway. Meanwhile, Soo originated the role of Eliza Hamilton and Groff was the first King George III.
According to an official synopsis, Octet “follows an octet of people struggling with digital dependency, charting their compulsions using only the analog vibrancy of their own voices.”
At the time the project was announced, Miranda said in a press release that he hasn’t “stopped thinking about Octet since I saw Annie Tippe’s premiere production in November of 2019. Dave Malloy’s score is versatile, brilliant and grows more relevant with each passing year. It won’t leave me alone so here we are.”
Malloy is set to adapt his own musical’s book for the film’s screenplay. He will also executive produce the project.
The Michael Jackson movie has moonwalked into the record books once again.
Michael has taken in $977 million worldwide. That surpasses the Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer, which raked in $975 million globally. Michael had already become the highest-grossing musical biopic of all time, out-earning the Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody — but now it’s tops among all biographical films.
Michael opened in April with an impressive $217 million globally. As per Variety, it’s now become Lionsgate’s biggest movie of all time, surpassing 2013’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which earned $865 million.
Lionsgate is reportedly planning on at least one more movie about Jackson’s life, since Michael ends in 1988. The King of Pop died in June 2009.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is coming back for a third and final season.
The Netflix series, based on Holly Jackson’s bestselling novels, stars Emma Myers as teen detective Pippa Fitz-Amboi.
Jackson, also an executive producer on the series, tells Tudum that she’s “ecstatic” to bring the final book in her series, As Good as Dead, to the screen.
“As Good as Dead is my favorite of the book series, and it’s by far my favorite season of the show too,” she says. “You’ll see Pip as you’ve never seen her before. It’s dark, breathless, horrible, and somehow still manages to be funny. Come on back to Little Kilton for the final time … if you dare.”
Myers says book three is her favorite book in the trilogy as well and tells fans, “Get ready for a crazy time!”
According to Tudum, the four-episode third season has wrapped production and will debut sometime in 2027.
