First up: Sasha Lane, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is the first person to be cast in Utopia. Taking on the role of Jessica Hyde, who has been described as “tough and feral after a life on the run from a mysterious and dangerous group.” And she’s trying to save the world, too.

“As I’ve been writing Utopia and trying to imagine the actor who could possibly embody Jessica Hyde, Sasha Lane has constantly kicked her way into my mind,” Flynn said of the casting. “She has the shapeshifting ability to feel at once raw, unpredictable and a little unnerving while also making you want to wrap your arms around her. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have her play this utterly unique character.”
