Hannah Einbinder, who plays Ava, previously opened up about the show to Variety, saying: "In the beginning of shooting, I felt a great deal of imposter syndrome because I had never acted before. It is intimidating being with these actors who are such lifelong professionals.… I was like, I feel out of place, I feel wrong here, they should have gotten someone with more experience.
