Female, 20s-30s, Black. Teni the newest hire at Bliss Studio, a sharp, no-nonsense journalism student who never imagined working at a place that preaches enlightenment while charging $75 for alkaline water. With a profound skepticism, she refuses to drink the "Bliss Studio Kool Aid" and constantly questions the studio’s whitewashed, capitalist approach to spirituality. Is working at Bliss Studios the place to bring out the humanity in her writing, or deepen her natural instinct to challenge authority. Vibe: Kat Dennings but Black

Male, 30’s, any ethnicity. Nick is a head-strung, hyper-organized) studio manager. Queer, vegan, and rule-abiding, this perfectionist who thrives on order and structure isn't going to allow the disruption of an outsider to out yang his yin. He is deeply invested in the studio’s mission (or at least what he believes it to be). MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT. Vibe: Joel Kim Booster in Fire Island

Female, 20’s, hot, white. Becky is a skinny heavily made up blond (with the good hair) is an overly ambitious, hot blonde wrapped in Alo Yoga and toxic positivity. A self-proclaimed “love and light” warrior. A devoted disciple of Guru-Sam, Becky is convinced that being close to him means being close to spiritual awakening. She hangs onto his every word, even when they contradict each other, and happily parrots his teachings—whether they make sense or not. Becky is desperately searching for the real, even if it puts her in harm's way. Vibe: Alex Cooper

Male, 40’s, white. The embodiment of spiritual appropriation—a long-haired white guy who has built an empire by commodifying ancient practices. Draped in flowing white linen (because purity sells). Equal parts serenity and self-importance, his image is meticulously crafted. Charismatic yet dangerously persuasive, beneath the surface, he’s a master manipulator who uses his influence to blur boundaries and maintain control. Vibe: Krishna Das/Jarad Leto

Sri Lankan female, 20-30. Sunila is a 25-year-old keyholder at a trendy retail store. Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, she has a strong sense of liberal values rooted in social justice. A late bloomer, Sunila’s job has slowly become her life, introducing her to a world of attention, confidence, and sexy self-invention that she’s still not sure she can pull off.

White male, slim build, 25-35. Boyfriend to Sunila. A 32-year-old faux-intellectual and performative ally, he occasionally disarms with flashes of sincerity. Reid’s well-meaning, but used to getting what he wants with minimal effort; he’s never really had to question or examine himself. Performer will appear shirtless and in boxer-briefs.

Mia (8-11) A kind and lively little girl who is fond of Joe and longs for a father figure.

He has no bottom line—only survival—and is driven purely by profit. Joe’s former coach and an accomplice in framing him years ago, he launders money for Scott, arranges underground fights, and even kidnaps Bella and her daughter, with the blood of many fighters on his hands. He seeks to control Joe, but when Scott is finally arrested, he is the first to step forward as a cooperating witness.

Scott’s lackey and a spoiled heir of the Martin Group—arrogant, despicable, and a bully who preys on the weak. He has committed every kind of wrongdoing.

The ultimate antagonist and the mastermind behind Joe’s downfall. Ruthless and defiant, he is a man of few words but extreme brutality. He became the new boxing champion by defeating Joe through conspiracy, not true skill. His confidence comes not from real fighting ability, but from his status as the son of powerful capital. Driven by an intense need for control and a violent nature, he craves honor as a way to satisfy his deep narcissism. Athletic.

Mia’s biological father—a compulsive gambler and a despicable man. To repay his debts, he sells his ex-wife Bella to Martin and even kidnaps his own daughter.

Late 20s. South Asian or South Indian (preferably Malayali). Malayalam-speaking actors are strongly preferred for authenticity. Jerry is an international student navigating the harsh realities of immigration in Canada. Once hopeful and determined, he is now emotionally exhausted, financially strained, and as a result, he internalizes his pain rather than expressing it outwardly. He carries the weight of expectations from back home, while struggling with a deep sense of failure.

Late 20s. South Indian or South Asian (Malayali preferred). Malayalam-speaking a plus, but not necessary. Arjun is Jerry’s close friend and housemate who has successfully secured permanent residency. Confident and social, he represents someone who "made it”, but beneath that he understands the system's flaws and the role of luck in his success. Empathetic but practical, he carries a subtle sense of survivor's guilt.

South Asian. Fluent in English. Daniel is a composed and professional immigration lawyer. He operates within the system and understands its limitations, but remains emotionally detached from clients' struggles. To him, it’s business efficient, structured, and transactional. Polished and professional.

White. Early 20s. Noah is a Canadian-born individual who has never experienced immigration struggles. Curious and naiive, he often asks questions that highlight his lack of exposure to the system.

Black. Any gender. 20s. Elissa is lively, outgoing, and the social glue of the group. Carefree, and slightly oblivious to emotional undercurrents.

South Asian. 20s. English speaking. Mumta is grounded and realistic. She has seen the struggles of immigration closely and speaks with quiet authority. Honest, composed and emotionally aware.
