Callica, who has appeared in Wayward Pines, will portray Xavier, a hottie dancer and Jay’s (Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman) new love interest.

Co-created by Marti Noxon and Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, UnReal gives a fictitious behind-the-scenes glimpse into the chaos surrounding the production of a dating competition program, Everlasting.

Shiri Appleby, Constance Zimmer, Josh Kelly and Genevieve Buchner are all set to return for Season 3.

Callica will next be seen in Lionsgate’s Power Rangers feature based on Saban Brands’ long-running kids series, slated for a March release.

The project goes behind the scenes of a hit competition dating series to follow the experiences of a young staffer (Life Unexpected‘s Appleby) whose lone job is to manipulate the relationships with (and among) the contestants in order to get the vital dramatic and outrageous footage producers demand.

Raisa will play Inez, a lesbian producer behind the scenes of the unscripted show who has a knack for finding great talent for the show.

Marti Noxon and Sarah Gertrude Shapiro penned the pilot, which is based on the latter’s short, Sequin Raze.

Raisa’s credits also include The Mindy Project, The CW pilot Company Town and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
