Roll call: The prestigious New England-set Essex College has enrolled a new student (read: potential love interest and/or boy toy). “Ozark” actor Spencer Neville has joined the cast of HBO Max’s “The Sex Lives of College Girls” in a recurring capacity for Season 2, TheWrap can exclusively reveal.
Although character and storyline details are being kept under wraps, Neville will be portraying Aaron, another student at Essex College.
From executive producers and co-creators Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble, the dramedy follows a group of four (varyingly horny) roommates as they embark on various sexual exploits and embrace the freedoms that come with the lack of parental oversight. Pauline Chalamet, Reneé Rapp, Amrit Kaur and Alyah Chanelle Scott star. Season 1 debuted in November 2021, and the show scored an early Season 2 renewal two days ahead of the premiere of its final two episodes on Dec. 9.
Noble serves as showrunner, and Howard Klein of 3 Arts Entertainment also executive produces. The series hails from Warner Bros. Television.
Back in June, it was announced that Mitchell Slaggert (2021’s “Gossip Girl”) had been cast in Season 2 as a series regular named Jackson. Meanwhile, Season 1 star Gavin Leatherwood (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) revealed in March that he would not be returning to the series.
In addition to appearing in “Ozark,” Neville has been in Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” and its subsequent FX on Hulu spinoff “American Horror Stories.” He also starred in the indie “The Obituary of Tunde Johnson,” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019. Later this year, he’s playing opposite Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell in the period war drama “Devotion.” His other TV credits include Fox’s “9-1-1: Lone Star,” Freeform’s “Good Trouble” and “Days of Our Lives.”
Neville is repped by Buchwald, 3Arts, imPRint, Yorn, Levine and Barnes.
