The four actors will have regular roles in the series, which will adopt comic tones when portraying the period of the 19th century in which the poet lived, and will join the protagonist Hailee Steinfeld (nominated for an Oscar for “Bravura Indmita”), who live the title character. As already disclosed, the production will be directed by filmmaker David Gordon Green (from remake in "Halloween") and other professionals, but we don't have a debut date yet.

Bloodgood left the series for unspecified reasons after recording four of the eight episodes of the first season; LaNasa takes its place with a different role, rewritten by the writers, and some scenes will have to be remade. She joins Spencer and other well-known Hollywood names in the suspense series, such as Aaron Paul (in "Breaking Bad") and Elizabeth Perkins (from “Sharp Objects”).

As "Dickinson" (and basically all series still in production at Apple), we don't have a release date for "Are You Sleeping?".
