LOOKING FOR ALASKA: Kristine Froseth, Charlie Plummer Set as Leads

Hulu has found the leads for its adaptation of John Green’s “Looking for Alaska.”

Kristine Froseth will play Alaska Young, who is described as “beautiful, mercurial, and unpredictable…the girl who broke your heart in high school — or she’s the girl it broke your heart not to be.” Charlie Plummer will play Miles Halter, who starts over at Culver Creek Academy in Alabama, where he meets Alaska.

Per Hulu, the series is “told through the eyes of teenager Miles “Pudge” Halter, as he enrolls in boarding school to try to gain a deeper perspective on life. He falls in love with a girl, Alaska Young, and after her unexpected death, he and his close friends attempt to uncover the truth behind her death and make sense of it.”

The eight-episode limited series comes from Josh Schwartz (CHUCK, GOSSIP GIRL, THE OC).
