Grandma Wong
Chinese immigrant grandmother: Stern, no filter, with a sharp sense for business, an unwavering work ethic, and an impermeable coat of emotional armor. She has lived in Canada long enough almost to lose her accent but not her fight-for-survival attitude. She has an impeccable memory, does not forgive easily, and is a ruthless and resourceful businesswoman. As the only Asian family in town, she is used to being an outsider but always knows the inside scoop.
Mrs Friesen
Caucasian Mennonite grandmother: A polite, soft-spoken woman on the outside but with a witty sense of humour on the inside. Only those closest to her get the benefit of her underbreath commentary. She is a curious observer. She’s the tactician. She’s the last person that you would expect to go against tradition, but she’s way too smart to keep doing things just for the sake of tradition. Her quick wit and analytical brain make her indispensable when shit needs to get done.
Mrs. Toews
Caucasian Mennonite grandmother: Quirky, jovial woman with a heart of gold. She tends to blurt things out before polishing her thoughts, but her intentions are always kind. She’s a god-fearing people-pleaser who wants everyone to get along but won’t hesitate to call you out if she thinks you’re wrong. She’s strong-minded and would do anything to help a friend in need.
Francis Wong
Chinese/Canadian (Emily’s mother): Smart, tough, sarcastic widow whose life is way more complicated than it should be for someone her age. Her motherly instincts become distorted as her drive to solve the mysterious death of her husband consumes her. Her relationships with her mother, culture, and hometown are layered with complications that pull her in conflicting directions. She’s driven primarily by fear of failing her daughter and determined not to become her mother, but at the same time, she yearns for her mother’s approval. She’s fiercely independent, stubborn, and badass.

EMMA
(caucasian) A talented young artist, engaged to movie star Raj, thrust into a nightmare she never saw coming. Reserved but deeply perceptive, Emma is not an industry insider—she’s Raj’s grounding force. Emotionally demanding role—she endures gaslighting, psychological terror, and supernatural horror before finally taking control.
RAJ
(Indian Canadian) A devilishly handsome MOVIE STAR and leading man with charm, talent, and a dark secret. Deeply self-absorbed, but not outwardly villainous—at least not at first. Genuinely believes he can outrun his past, but as The Bride’s vengeance escalates, his desperation and denial turn deadly.
NED KROFT
(caucasian) A legendary film producer who quit Hollywood 8 years ago and has been living as a total recluse. But he's making his big comeback to work with Raj and the others on the sequel to their biggest hit. Ned is odd, enigmatic, and has a flair for the theatrical.
