Class of Lies (American TV series)

Class of Lies is an American teen drama series created for Snapchat as part of their venture into scripted streaming content for mobile devices and was launched in 2018. Developed as a joint venture between Snapchat and NBCUniversal, the show is executive produced by Mark Boal, who wrote and produced the Oscar-winning film The Hurt Locker and the Oscar-nominated film Zero Dark Thirty. The series' main characters are Devon (Camille Ramsey) and Missy (Tatsumi Romano), best friends and college roommates who crack cold cases on their successful true-crime podcast. Their lives quickly turn upside down when their best friend disappears without a trace, leaving the two true-crime podcasters responsible for solving their most important case yet. The series was written by Riverdale writer Tessa Leigh Williams and won the 2019 Writers Guild of America (WGA) award for Best Original Short Form New Media. The entire series was filmed and edited vertically, as a way of introducing a new method of viewing streaming content. The series is among a list of shows branded as Snap Originals and was the company's introduction to TV-like programming. Additionally, viewers are able to interact with the series through augmented reality features such as Show Portals, which allow viewers to enter Missy and Devon's dorm room and explore the premises.

Cast and characters

 * Camille Ramsey as Devon, a 19-year-old college student with an obsession for true crime. Devon is much more "out there" than the sort-of-prim Missy. Devon has had her share of drunken one-night-stands, and will probably have more. She hosts a true-crime podcast with her best friend, Missy.
 * Tatsumi Romano as Missy, a 19-year old, college-sweatshirt wearing, Type A student at Bettencourt University. She hosts a true-crime podcast with her roommate, Devon, and uses her STEM skills to solve complex cases. Happy but reserved, Missy is a gifted armchair detective who is about to tackle her biggest case yet.
 * Lukas Gage as Tiger, a frat guy with more information than what appears on the surface.
 * Lee Rodriguez as Bea, a close friend of Devon and Missy who goes missing after a night out.
 * Frank Cappello as Anderson, a popular TA who is intimately involved with Devon.
