The Full Cast of Soundtrack on Netflix

Meet the Full Cast of Netflix's Musical Drama Soundtrack

Dec 9 2019 by Amanda Prahl

Musical TV shows are making a real comeback, and Netflix's Soundtrack is the latest in the genre. Its cast is packed with TV vets and relative newcomers alike, all with some serious singing and dancing chops. Soundtrack is an ensemble musical series set in present-day Los Angeles, where the lives and romances of several characters intersect (and where there are plenty of jazzy musical numbers!). It's produced by Joshua Safran, who was also behind the cult-favourite musical drama Smash, and is set to debut its first season on Dec. 18. Ahead of the first season premiering, take a look at who's starring in Netflix's newest series.

Callie Hernandez as Nellie O'Brien

Hernandez is no stranger to performing in musicals on camera: she was one of Emma Stone's roommates in La La Land. Here, she's playing Nellie, an aspiring artist who's taken a detour into a day job in admissions at an arts college.

Jahmil French as Dante Mendoza

We don't know much about French's role as Dante quite yet. The actor has been working steadily for several years, but he's best known for his role as Dave Turner on Degrassi: The Next Generation, for which he received multiple Canadian Screen Award nominations.

Jenna Dewan as Joanna Kassem

Dewan returns to her song-and-dance roots as Joanna, a young professional who prides herself on her calm, rational approach to life, even though she keeps her guard up a little too much. This will be Dewan's first nonreality TV role since starring on Witches of East End.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Annette Sands

Jean-Baptiste brings some serious acclaim to her role as Annette. In 1996, her role in the movie Secrets and Lies earned her Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for best supporting actress. More recently, she has had major roles on long-running TV series including Without a Trace, Blindspot, and Homecoming.

Campbell Scott as Frank O'Brien

Scott's résumé is lengthy, which is no surprise given that he's been working consistently — both on screen and as a voice artist — since 1987. Modern viewers may recognise him from his role on the drama Damages or from his cameos in the Amazing Spider-Man movies as Spider-Man's father, Richard Parker.

Paul James as Samson Hughes

James takes over as Sam after Raul Castillo departed the role in 2018. He's a young widower with a young son he adores, as well as an aspiring songwriter. The actor is probably best known for his roles on Hulu's The Path and the ABC Family cult fave Greek.
