Merced, best known for her role as Dina in HBO's The Last of Us, has been confirmed to lead the cast as Lorena Bobbitt, while Schwarzenegger, who starred as Saxon in the third season of The White Lotus, takes on the role of her husband, John Bobbitt.
The new instalment of the anthology series remains untitled but will be inspired by the story of the Virginia couple. It was confirmed back in August that Good American Family would be taking on a new story entirely away from the Natalia Grace saga of its first season.
What ensued was "a media circus that treated trauma as entertainment, launched a thousand dirty jokes, and ignited a gender war," as per the series description. This isn't the first time that the Bobbitt case has been dug into on-screen, following Lifetime's 2020 TV movie I Was Lorena Bobbitt and the 2019 Prime Video docuseries Lorena, produced by Jordan Peele.
No other casting has yet been announced for the new instalment but with Merced and Schwarzenegger at its helm, fans will undoubtedly be intrigued to see how they bring the story to life. Aside from her role in The Last of Us, Merced is known for her roles in Dora and the Lost City of Gold, Madame Web, Superman and Peacemaker. She is due to return for The Last of Us season 3 and the Superman follow-up Man of Tomorrow.
Good American Family is available to watch on Disney+. You can sign up to Disney+ from £4.99 a month.
