Rochelle Aytes to play the mom in Lost Boys tv series!!

The CW is about to go into production on a second version of a Lost Boys pilot. Branden Cook, Lincoln Younes, and Ruby Cruz will be playing the pilot’s versions of the Michael, David, and Star characters, who have been renamed Garrett, Benjamin, and Elsie.

Garrett’s mother is named Jackie and will be played by Rochelle Aytes. This character was named Lucy and played by Dianne Wiest in the movie.

Written by Heather Mitchell and Rob Thomas:

a mother, Jackie (Aytes) and her Gen Z sons, Garrett (Branden Cook) and Levi, move to the seaside town where she grew up. They discover there’s a sinister reason the local cool kids sleep all day, party all night, never grow up and never get old. Family bonds are tested as the brothers find themselves on opposite sides of a mythological struggle.

Aytes’ Jackie, the single mother of Garrett and Levi, has just moved back to the North Carolina seaside town she abandoned more than 20 years ago. Now she’s returning to take over her dad’s bed and breakfast, and perhaps, rekindle an old high school flame. 

Marcos Siega is directing the pilot and will be executive producing the show with Mitchell, Thomas, Dan Etheridge, Mike Karz, and Bill Bindley. Rebecca Franko and Juliana Janes are producing.
