What’s with all the news about Highly Gifted as of late? Could the series be gearing up for a pickup? Just a week or so ago we told you guys that a bunch of new cast had been added to the series and now it looks like we’ve got more casting news.

Nat Faxon (Married) has officially been added to the cast. Faxon will voice Schnazi, an amoral social Darwinist. Josh Brener (Silicon Valley) will play the nerdy Dave, and comedian/YouTube star Jamie Curry will voice Jody, the magnet program’s most popular girl.

Highly Gifted comes from Danny and Jeremy Lehrer as a semi-autobiographical show where “they existed in a precarious intellectual bubble within the larger school — an exotic and forbidden world, where people went on dates, attended sporting events, partied, and engaged in other exotic and mysterious rites and ceremonies.”

No word as to when and where the Shadowmachine-produced series is gonna air, but with all this news it’s gotta be soon I would imagine.
