Writer and executive producer Sera Gamble said Ralph has "an energy and intelligence that made us want to see him in this role."
The powerful, complex Julia will be played by Stella Maeve, and Hale Appleman is taking on the role of Quentin's friend and fellow Physical Kid, Eliot.

But one main character, and arguably the most important person in the first book, was missing: Alice Quinn.

In the book, Alice — a magical prodigy — is described as "a small, sullen girl with straight dark hair" who has "preternaturally flexible hands and wrists and a freakish memory."
But now the wait is over! BuzzFeed has the exclusive on the casting announcement: Alice Quinn will be played by Olivia Taylor Dudley.
