5. Who's Playing Them?

Fantastic Beasts Samantha Morton
Warner Bros

Samantha Morton has been cast in the role of leader Alpha. Morton recently had a role in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, joining fellow Wizarding World alum Dan Fogler in recently coming aboard the series, while she's also received two Academy Award nominations - one for Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown, the other for Jim Sheridan's In America.

The role of Beta, meanwhile, will be filled by Ryan Hurst, who's no stranger to violent TV shows having appeared as Opie across 54 episodes of FX's Sons of Anarchy. The final bit of casting is that of Lydia, who'll be portrayed by Cassady McClincy, who has had guest spots in the likes of Ozark, Constantine, and Castle Rock.
