Danny Trejo and Disney Star Madison Hu Set to Be in Upcoming Pilot "Sage Alexander"; Will This Be the Binge-Worthy Show of the Summer?
DALLAS, Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- When a veteran of the entertainment industry and an up-and-coming Disney star team up for Innersight Entertainment's small screen adaption of a YA fantasy-adventure series comparable to Harry Potter, it's hard not to pay attention.
Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn, Sons of Anarchy) and Madison Hu (Bizaardvark, Best Friends Whenever) are joining the cast of Sage Alexander, which has all the makings of a binge-worthy summer hit. Episode one, "Hall of Nightmares," follows a group of supernaturally gifted teens as they discover an entrance into the dark realm, a haunted underworld that feeds upon their ever-increasing terror, from which few return.
Trejo, 73, is set to play Oddvar Folsom, a rugged angelic-human warrior who relishes combating dark beasts wherever he finds them. While Hu, 15, will be playing the part of Chelsea Nevins, a determined and confident angelic-human student who takes charge when she and her classmates enter a mysterious and evil underworld.
"We all know Danny Trejo as a legend in the acting community," said producer and co-director of the project at Innersight Entertainment, Carolyn Johnston. "And Madison Hu is a very talented young actor with a big on-screen presence, so we are beyond excited to have them bring this story to life."
Trejo and Hu join Todd Terry, J.B. Edwards, Mark Hanson, Stevonte Hart, Aidan Lanford, Dodge Prince and Ashlea Rae on screen for this action-filled series.
The pilot is a prequel to the first book of Steve Copling's well-received YA series released last April, Sage Alexander and the Hall of Nightmares. Book two, Sage Alexander and the Blood of Seth, is set to release April 11, 2018. For more information about the series, please visit sagealexander.net.
