OlderColton Ryan Joins Elle Fanning In New Hulu Series 'The Girl From Plainville'
Colton Ryan has landed a new television role!
The 25-year-old actor has been cast opposite Elle Fanning in the upcoming Hulu limited series The Girl From Plainville, Variety reports.
The series is based off the Esquire article of the same name by Jesse Barron about a “texting-suicide” case, and “will explore Carter’s relationship with Conrad “Coco†Roy III (Ryan) and the events that led to his death and, later, her controversial conviction of involuntary manslaughter.”
Elle will play Michelle Carter, and she will also executive produce.
According to Variety, “Coco is described in the series as a sweet, caring young man grappling with anxiety and loneliness in a world he doesn’t feel he fits into. When he serendipitously meets Carter, he sees in her someone who understands his struggles and seems to see the real him. But his relationship with Carter takes a dark turn as he sets his sights on ending his life and becomes dependent on her support to see it through.”
Colton can currently be seen in the film Uncle Frank, which is available to watch on Prime Video, as well as the AppleTV+ series Little Voices. He will soon star in the movie adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen as Connor Murphy, which will debut in September!
