Jacqueline (Melora Hardin) will immediately reach out to Cleo once she comes on board.

In addition, Dan Jeonnotte will return in his recurring role as Pinstripe, Jane’s (Stevens) former fling, who reenters her life in season 2.

It stars Katie Stevens, Aisha Dee, Meghann Fahy, Sam Page, Matt Ward, Boosheri, Moore, and Melora Hardin as Jacqueline, editor in chief of Scarlet Magazine.

The series is executive produced by Amanda Lasher, Victor Nelli, Sarah Watson, David Bernad, Joanna Coles and Ruben Fleischer. Holly Whidden is co-executive producer.
