Rachel Boston has been cast in the role of Ingrid Beauchamp for Lifetime’s adaptation of
Witches of East End, TVLine.com reports. Ingrid is the quirky, yet smarter sister of Freya, which has been cast as Jenna Dewan. Boston's credits include
American Dreams, In Plain Sight, Grey's Anatomy and
The Ex List.
Ingrid is described as cautious, smart and unaware of how beautiful she is. In the pilot, Ingrid and her wild younger sister Freya (played by Jenna Dewan) are unaware that they descend from a long line of witches and they themselves are witches. A series of events, including the engagement of Freya to playboy Dash Gardiner (played by Patrick Heusinger), forces their mother Joanna (played by Julia Ormond) to reveal the truth about their inherited powers.
In addition, newcomer Daniel Ditomasso has been cast as Killian Gardiner, Freya’s future brother-in-law. He’s brooding and incredibly sexy, and his thrall over Freya doesn’t bode well for her engagement to Dash.
Maggie Friedman penned the pilot and will executive produce the project along with Erwin Stoff of 3 Arts Entertainment. The hour-long pilot is expected to air later this year.
