Lucy Hale’s ‘Life Sentence’ CW Pilot Adds ‘Young and Hungry’ Alum Jayson Blair (Exclusive)
Jayson Blair has joined Lucy Hale in Bill Lawrence’s CW pilot “Life Sentence.”
The dramedy follows Stella (Hale), a young woman diagnosed with terminal cancer, who finds out that she’s not dying after all, forcing her to learn to live with the choices she made when she decided to “live like she was dying.”
Blair will play Aiden, Stella’s brother/the slighted middle child. Aiden is described as super-charming, though emotionally immature, a womanizer who still lives at home with his parents and sells Adderall to soccer moms who he often ends up sleeping with.
