Avalon

Summary: A ragtag group of teenage mercenaries who crew the spaceship Avalon stumble upon a conspiracy that could threaten the entire galaxy in this fascinating and fast-paced sci-fi adventure from author Mindee Arnett.

The Cast

Thomas McDonnell as Jeth Seagrave

The hair! The attitude! Thomas McDonnell is Jeth. Also we want to see what he looks like with a shaved head (spoiler alert!)

Jeth is leader of a teenaged crew of professional space ship thieves employed by the crime lord of the space station he calls home. With his little sister Lizzie being recruited for the gang, he is eager for a way out of the criminal life.

Odeya Rush as Sierra Hightower

She’s got the look and attitude to pull off a tough, feisty rogue government agent on the run.

Sierra is a junior ITA agent, a position her scheming guardian forced her into. Working as a scientist in a top secret genetic program, she is unhappy with the treatment of the human patients and is looking for a way to save them.

Maisie Williams as Lizzie Seagrave

Who would make a great professional space ship thief and technical genius? Maisie Williams. Also, it would be nice to see Maisie out of Westeros and in outer space.

Lizzie is a technological genius who idolizes her older brother Jeth. She loves all things cute and furry, especially cats. She wants nothing more than to be a part of his crew.

Lila Fukushima as Celeste Lee

She kicks ass. Any excuse to see her do it some more of that is fine by us.

Celeste is a feisty and tough, but sensually beautiful. Her specialty in Jeth's crew is distracting marks. She's the best pilot of the crew.

Will Poulter as Will Shady

It’s all in the attitude. As a guns and ammunition expert and professional space ship thief, we think Will is bound to have fun blowing stuff up.

Shady is the ordnance officer for Jeth's crew. Besides gaming, his favorite activities involve blowing things up.

Dylan O’Brien as Flynn Emerson

Comedic timing and charming awkwardness is Flynn to the core. Dylan would be perfect.

Flynn is the resident mechanic of Jeth's crew. He can sometimes lose his cool under pressure, but so long as there's food nearby, he'll be all right.

Jared Harris as Milton Lewis

The truth here? We just want to listen to him talk in that rough and gravel Harris voice. Yes, please.

Milton is a retired ITA doctor and uncle to both Jeth and Lizzie. When he's not drinking, he spends his time looking out for his young crew.

Skyler Wexler as Cora Seagrave

After Orphan Black, we want Skyler playing all the kid roles. Cuteness and charm reigns.

Cora is a mysterious little girl who was the subject of the ITA's genetic experiment.

Matt Lanter as Vince Mallory

He played an alien, so he’ll make the move to a space ship easily as a government soldier on the run. And look mighty fine doing it.

Vince is fugitive ITA soldier and adopted brother to Sierra. Like his sister, he never wanted to work for the ITA. With Sierra's urging, he's helped her escape with Cora.

Stephen Amell as Daxton Price

Hello, have you seen Arrow? We want Stephen in all the things. Screenwriters, be sure to include a couple of gratuitous shirtless scenes.

Daxton works for the same crime lord as Jeth and his crew. He's an expert marksman who harbors a dark and terrible past.

Anthony Anderson as Hammer Dafoe

He played a gangster in The Shield. We want to see him do it again in outer space.

Hammer is the most powerful crime lord in the region and governor of Peltraz spaceport. Jeth and his crew work exclusively for him. He rules all aspects of their lives, and he knows that his band of teenage spaceship thieves are too valuable to ever give them up.

Iain Glen as Marcus Renford

We just really want to watch him play the villain.

Marcus is an ITA special agent with his own agenda. He has been sent to recapture Cora Seagrave, but his interests involve all the members of the Seagrave clan.
