* CastingGag: A lot of the main actors play roles strikingly similar to the ones that made them famous:
** A Creator/PennBadgley character using social media to [[StalkerWithACrush stalk and infiltrate the life of]] a [[DudeMagnet much sought after,]] beautiful, but self-absorbed [[EveryoneLovesBlondes blonde woman,]] [[spoiler: and [[KarmaHoudini getting away with it all?]]]] [[Literature/GossipGirl Wouldn’t be the first time.]] (This is quite possibly [[CastingGag intentional.]])
** Creator/ShayMitchell plays a [[spoiler: closeted lesbian (though Peach could be bisexual) who is secretly in love with her blonde best friend,]] who is a victim of a StalkerWithACrush, thus making Shay’s character a target more or less by association, just like Emily in ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars''. Though, this time it’s Shay’s character who is manipulative and controlling, rather than the other way around.
** Elizabeth Lail plays Beck, who falls for a deranged, sociopathic SerialKiller who puts on a very convincing [[BitchInSheepsClothing facade]] of being a [[NiceGuy sweet,]] [[BoyNextDoor down to earth and likable]] guy, just like [[spoiler: Elizabeth’s own character Amy]] in Series/DeadOfSummer.
** Victoria Pedretti once again plays [[Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse a young widow who supports a twin brother with addiction problems despite multiple relapses.]]
