She joins a cast that includes Billy Magnussen (Boardwalk Empire), Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City), Danielle Campbell (The Originals), James Wolk (Zoo), and Paul Wesley (The Vampire Diaries).
Tell Me a Story is part of a growing scripted slate for CBS All Access that features Star Trek: Discovery, No Activity, and The Good Fight, as well as upcoming sex magick drama Strange Angel, rustbelt-set drama $1, and a Twilight Zone revival executive produced by Get Out‘s Jordan Peele.
