In an interview with Elle US, Lipez said that they always considered King for the role of Halina, who is the youngest of the Kurc family. “There’s just this strength and intelligence and humor and ambition to Halina that we felt like we knew Joey would capture,” Lipez told the outlet.

She also talked about Lerman, who plays Addy, one of Halina’s brothers, an adventurous composer and engineer. Lipez believes that Lerman and King are “very similar in a lot of ways” and that was useful for the characters as “they’re always described within the family as twin spirits.”
