“Kitty Couture” is now going into it’s second season now, which means new story lines, adventures and new characters and recurring cast as well.

Peyton Borough is set to star in the action-comedy series; “Ackerman Agent” will make his Wiki Channel debut before his series airs during the second half of the second season as a possible love interest for Val/Kitty in what is now a 7 episode arch.

Here are some other characters we will need help with casting:

Lori Love – (Female), Lori Love is a supermodel who takes a certain liking into Antonio which makes Val a little jealous. For those who don’t know Val broke up with Antonio (after dating for a couple of months) before moving to New York, but when she moved back to Atlanta and starting doing Kitty Couture, her and Antonio remained friends, he still had feelings for her in season one, which you can catch up on in the season 1 episode descriptions, but towards the end of the season she told him to move on. Lori however will be that moving on, they start off as friends and it builds from there. Lori is a smart super model who is super nice even when Val is jealous, which she even admits to knowing towards the end of the season where her and Val become friends. She is smart, ambitious, super friendly and nice to everyone. She bonds with Antonio because he is so nice and finds him adorable when he tries to pretend to be as smart as her. She ultimately helps Val realize that she still has feelings for Antonio. Although she is mostly involved in Antonio’s storylines, she has a plot of her own, during the season she is helped to be more of herself and not what the shallow industry wants her to be. Later in the season when she and Val are friends, she gets help from Val, Tina, and Antonio on how to deal with staying true to herself. I have a good idea in mind but I don’t want to spoil it. Lol. Lori is original set to be in 9 episodes of this season and possibly 2 more towards the season finale, but I’m not sure yet. Lori makes her first appearance in episode 3 of season 2 and further appearances are scattered from there.

Rico – (Male), Rico is around Tyler’s age. Tyler (played by Aidan Creature) who is Tina’s genius little brother meets him when he moves to town. Rico’s parents are loaded; his dad owns a new local arcade that everyone goes too. Rico is a bit more fearless and daring than Tyler, but this ultimately helps Tyler take newer chances. Their friendship, I guess can be compared to Flynn and Henry’s from “shake it up”, except from Henry’s point of view instead of Flynn. He would have to look about the same age as Tyler. I was even considering the guy from What’s Up With, but that was because there are very limited young actors who aren’t already involved in projects. So anyone can make an actor to audition for this part. Rico will probably have the most episodes of all the recurring characters for season 2, just because his role isn’t that major but affects a lot of Tyler’s storylines that deal with friendship and school. Rico will have one episode about his family and him as well. Rico first appears in episode 3 of season 2 alongside Lori.

Lee Tyson – (Male), Lee Tyson is a karate martial arts expert who first meets Tina at an arcade and tricks her into entering into his team so they can have the requirement of 6 people. After that he is impressed to see that Tina is not only beautiful but smart and tough as well. He flirts with her a lot and loves to spend time with her. Lee is a genuine, right to the point; tell it as it is type of guy. He is very open and has nothing to hide. In my head I guess you could say he’s a mix of Beck from Victorious, the blind guy from “Shake it up” that dated Cece, and the guy Spencer Boldman played in Zapped ( I forgot his name) lol. Lee’s real purpose will be one of the many ways Tina’s character gets more involved this season. He is only down for two episodes right now and possibly more if Tina ends up dating him.

Catherine “Cathy” Matthews – (Female), Cathy is a new girl at school who is very talkative and annoying. When Valencia returns from fashion week she doesn’t know her or why people are being mean to her but after talking to her she learns why (because she talks to much). Val now tries to avoid her. Val first helps her be less talkative which helps her get attention from a guy, but later tells Cathy she should be herself and people she like her for who she is. Cathy is very sweet and nice and is super excited when Val offers to help her. Cathy only appears in episode 9, but her role would be great for a lot of actress looking to start off or who have never made a tv appearance.

Some roles are smaller than others and there will be more openings for actors as the season continues but these are the main ones for now. Remember a lot of actors on Nick and Disney often guest star on things before getting their own shows so, even if it’s a small role, when you audition for a lead in another show or movie, you can put (example: “I’d like to sign up my actor “whoever the actor is” for a part, they did one episode of “so and so”) and I can’t speak for everyone but I often look at what the actor has been in sometimes if I ever cast, (sometimes I do anyway, not to base who gets the part, but just to get an idea of the actor and things the manager has them doing lol and to make it realistc as well. For example, I wouldn't cast someone who has had their own show as a minior role in a movie ya know?) lol but yeah

I hope everyone auditions and consideres auditioning for a part, good luck to everyone :)
