The Vampire Diaries alum Matthew Davis and Alexander Hodge (Insecure) have been tapped as series regulars opposite Melissa Fumero, AnnaSophia Robb and Ben Rappaport in Grosse Pointe Garden Society, NBC‘s drama pilot from Jenna Bans, Bill Krebs and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

The drama follows four members of a suburban garden club — including Birdie (Fumero), Alice (Robb) and Brett (Rappaport) — all from different walks of life, who get caught up in murder and mischief as they struggle to make their conventional lives bloom.

Davis plays Joel, a police officer, Misty’s husband and the father of their adopted son, Tom, whom Birdie (Fumero) takes an interest in. Burned out by his job and life in this suburban town, he just needs the slightest push to embrace a dark side of his own.

Hodge plays Doug, Alice’s (Robb) husband. He once had dreams of being a wildly successful artist, but like Alice, his dreams have dwindled over the years, and now fills his time by painting signs for local restaurants.

Maggie Kiley is directing the pilot, which she is executive producing with Bans via her Minnesota Logging Co., Krebs and Casey Kyber.

Davis is known for his role as Alaric Saltzman on the CW fantasy drama The Vampire Diaries, which he played for eight seasons and subsequently reprised on spinoff series Legacies. He is repped by
Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Mainstay Entertainment.

Hodge is known for playing Andrew on Issa Rae’s HBO series Insecure. He recently co-starred in the movie Joy Ride opposite Stephanie Hsu and Ashley Park and appeared on the Netflix series Wellmania. Hodge is repped by Innovative Artists, Brillstein and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.

According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, The Vampire Diaries alum — who cited “irreconcilable differences” when he filed for divorce from de Ramon in February 2023 — came to an agreement with his ex late last month.

In Wesley’s latest filing from Feb. 23, 2024, the divorce was listed as “uncontested,” with a note that both “parties have entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support, the original of which is being or has been submitted to the court.”

Wesley, 40, waived any future spousal or partner support payments, and de Ramon, 32, asked to restore her former name as a result of the marriage’s end.

Wesley and de Ramon were married in 2019. The couple, who did not have any children together, and announced their decision to split in September 2022. “The decision to separate is mutual and occurred five months ago,” a rep told PEOPLE at the time.

Riley Voelkel, an accomplished and accredited actress, is recognized for her versatile performances across television and film. Rising to prominence with her compelling portrayal of Freya Mikaelson in the supernatural drama series “The Originals,” she showcased her acting prowess and garnered a dedicated fan base. Beyond the supernatural genre, she has highlighted her talent in diverse roles, including her recent portrayal of Renee Segna in the crime drama series “Hightown.” Hightown’s third and final season is airing now on STARZ with its finale taking place on March 8th.

When looking at her work, there is an extensive list of credits from a wide variety of roles. If you could take readers back, what started your initial interest in acting?
My story is a little different than most actors. Growing up I had no idea I would become an actor. I was heavily involved in school and sports but was never in theatre (something I now hope to experience someday). At 18 years old, a month away from going to college to study structural engineering and play softball, I was given the opportunity to move to LA and work as a model. I decided to take the risk and see how things went for one year and then decide if I wanted to go back to school or not. Through my modeling agency I booked a lot of commercials that year and they asked me if I ever thought about acting. I decided to take a class and the day of my first class I fell in love with it. I felt so much fulfillment from performing and creating, and I knew this was what I wanted to do. That’s how it all started.

Whether it be movie, show, or live theatre, I’m curious what would be your absolute dream roles to play?
I’d love to experience a role in theatre one day. I think it’s so different from film and television, and I imagine that it would be an amazing experience. I’ve always wanted to play a badass woman in an action film. I grew up playing sports so I crave the challenge of stunt work and think it would be so fun! Also, I’ve always been drawn to playing a character from another era like the 60s or 70s who is involved the music industry. “Almost Famous” is one of my favorite films and captures an amazing time in music and I’d love to be a part of something like that.

One of your biggest roles thus far is that of Freya on The CW’s hit series “The Originals and Legacies”. Looking back, what aspects did you enjoy most about playing Freya?
Playing Freya Mikaelson was the longest I’ve played one character in a show, and I loved experiencing building a character over the course of many seasons. It allows so much more character exploration when you have multiple seasons to tell a story. Also, the show’s fanbase is incredible. They are such loyal, amazing fans, and I’ll be forever grateful to them for all their love and support. The fans often tell us that the show and the characters brought a lot of comfort to them during difficult times and that has meant so much to me. They have definitely been a highlight of playing Freya. The magic was fun too.
