Steve Talley (Pretty Little Liars) has been cast as the male lead opposite Ashley Tisdale and Aimee Carrero in Freeform’s "Young & Hungry" spin-off, now in the works.
The project, which will be titled "Young & Sofia", will be introduced as a planned spin-off in the eighth episode of "Young & Hungry‘s" current fourth season. Also guest starring in that episode with an option to be a series regular on the potential spin-off is Ryan Pinkston, who recently co-starred alongside Tisdale on the TBS comedy series "Clipped".
In "Young & Sofia", Carrero reprises her co-starring role from the original series, Sofia Rodriguez, an ambitious banking intern and best friend and roommate to Gabi (Emily Osment). The proposed spin-off will follow Sofia (Carrero) as she lands a job working for an overbearing boss at Click’d Media, Logan Rawlings, the magazine editor/lesbian character Tisdale originated in two guest starring appearances on "Young & Hungry", which she executive produces, along with the spin-off.
Talley plays Kendrick, a super-hot, sexy and masculine journalist with Click’d Media, poached from The New York Times, whom Sofia is immediately intrigued by.
Pinkston plays Leo. Insecure and brash, energetic with a self-deprecating wit, he is the pop culture editor at Click’d Media and competitive with Kendrick. He immediately spots Sofia as Logan’s next interviewee and is impressed by her easy chutzpah.
