Shay Mitchell Joins Hulu's DOLLFACE In Recasting

Shay Mitchell will star Kat Dennings and Brenda Song in Dollface, according to Deadline. Mitchell will play Stella Cole, Madison's (Song) other best friend from college, free spirit, and charming hedonist. She replaces Lex Scott Davis, who was originally cast in the role.

The new Hulu Original Series comes from Creator and Writer Jordan Weiss (Harley Quinn) and Showrunner Ira Ungerleider. Additional executive producers include Margot Robbie, Brett Hedblom and Tom Ackerley for LuckyChap Entertainment; Bryan Unkeless and Scott Morgan for Clubhouse Pictures; Nicole King and Stephanie Laing (Vice Principals). Matt Spicer (Ingrid Goes West) will executive produce and direct the first episode.

Dollface is set to begin production in 2019. The comedy follows a young woman who - after being dumped by her longtime boyfriend - must deal with her own imagination in order to literally and metaphorically re-enter the world of women, and rekindle the female friendships she left behind.

Dollface will debut alongside Hulu's growing original comedy slate, which includes the Emmy nominated I LOVE YOU, AMERICA with Sarah Silverman, as well as upcoming series Ramy, Mindy Kaling's FOUR WEDDINGS and a Funeral and Shrill.

The series marks Hulu's third project with ABC Signature Studios following the recent pick-up of the highly-anticipated Little Fires Everywhere, as well as the first joint TV production project for LuckyChap Entertainment and Clubhouse Pictures, who together recently produced the award-winning film I, Tonya and who are in active pre-production on the untitled Birds of Prey film at Warner Bros.

Mitchell is best known for her leading role as Emily Fields on all seven seasons of Freeform's Pretty Little Liars. She most recently starred on the hit Netflix series You .
