Shabana Azeez recently reacted to being a fancast for Sabrina James in an interview with EliteDaily
When it comes time for Tucker’s story, fans are already saying who they want to play Brooks’ love interest, Sabrina, and Azeez is one of the names being thrown around. The Australian actor is down to enroll in Briar U under one condition: She doesn’t have to play hockey. Luckily for her, Sabrina spends her time in law school rather than hockey rinks.
“I don't have to do hockey? Well then let's go,” Azeez says. “I'm very much the kind of person who wants to learn new skills for roles, but the stories Jalen has told about the bruises on his butt really painted a picture, so I'd be a little scared.” If Mavadi shippers are lucky, it’s possible they could get Azeez and Brooks together not just in the ED, but at Briar U as well. https://t.co/uJ2xSvIaHy

Louisa Levy on casting John Tucker via THR
“One of the things we did for Tucker, for example, is one of the audition scenes was a future scene that may never get shot because we haven’t written that season, but it was a future version of Tucker beacuse we wanted to see [how that would look] when we were auditioning people. I changed his age order. He’s the youngest now, which is different, to be able to get to his season and have him still be in college. Some of the people we auditioned felt very young, which felt right for this season, but we wanted to make sure that there was range available.”
“One of the beautiful things about Jalen is that he has that range already in him. He’s ready for that. We can see season one Tucker, and we can also see season four Tucker, so [we know] that we have room to grow with him.”
