Amber Coney Joins ‘Dead Of Summer’; Brandon Kyle Goodman In ‘Sunset PPL’
Amber Coney has booked a series regular role in Freeform’s Dead Of Summer horror drama series. Set in the late 1980s, school is out for the summer and a sun-drenched season of firsts beckons the counselors at Camp Clearwater, a seemingly idyllic Midwestern summer camp, including first loves, first kisses—and first kills. Clearwater’s dark, ancient mythology awakens, and what was supposed to be a summer of fun soon turns into one of unforgettable scares and evil at every turn. Production will begin in March. Coney will play Carolina “Cricket” Diaz. Better known by her nickname “Cricket” because she likes to chirp, Carolina joins her old gang of camp friends as a counselor at Camp Clearwater. Coney’s most recent credit as an actor is Sony TV/Lifetime movie Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? with Tori Spelling, for which she also wrote the screenplay. She is repped by TCA/Jed Root, Velocity Entertainment Partners, and attorney Neil Meyer.
Comedian-actor Brandon Kyle Goodman has booked a regular role on NBC and Universal TV’s Playground competition pilot winner Sunset PPL. It follows five millennial roommates who begin to question the direction their lives have taken (or stalled in neutral) when an outsider enters the fray of their world. As a comedian, Goodman has performed in NYC at Ars Nova, The People’s Improv Theater, The Stand NYC and The Duplex. His latest solo show “One Good Man” was a Time Out New York Critics’ Pick. He was most recently seen on VH1’s Throwback Thanksgiving, and has appeared on Amazon’s Red Oaks and web series This Is Why We’re Single. Goodman is repped by Gersh.
