Mark Ruffalo and Lili Reinhart Among Cast Members Starring in TV Series HAL & HARPER From Cooper Raiff, Who Will Also Star
A slate of new cast members have been added to the indie TV series Hal & Harper, from Cha Cha Real Smooth filmmaker Cooper Raiff, including Mark Ruffalo (The Avengers), Lili Reinhart (Riverdale), Addison Timlin (Blackout), and Havana Rose Liu (No Exit). Raiff will write and direct as well as star in the series.
There are no official details about the series, which is said to be a comedic family drama. Raiff has spoken about Hal & Harper, which has been a passion project he has been working on for years. During a 2020 interview tied to his breakout first feature Shithouse, which premiered at Sundance, he said that Hal & Harper follows two siblings and a single dad who is making them grow up too fast — so fast that the 7- and 9-year-olds would be played by adult actors.
Reinhart and Raiff are believed to be playing the siblings, Harper and Hal, respectively. Ruffalo is playing the dad, Deadline reports. Timlin is said to be playing Audrey, and Liu is Abby. Raiff is producing alongside producing partner Clementine Quittner through Small Ideas, the company they launched last year.
This sounds like a really good series idea, and the actors are solid. I look forward to checking it out and hearing more about it once the strike is over.
