Amazon has confirmed Australian actress Georgina Haig will take on the role of ‘Rachel’ in the upcoming Original series, Back to the Rafters.

Haig will join the returning original cast for the reboot of the Australian classic drama. The casting move comes after Jessica Marais pulled out of the production last month. Marais had been involved in pre-production for the series when mental health issues returned. Rafters is the 3rd Australian drama in 18 months that Marais has been forced to withdraw from.

Additional newcomers to Back to the Rafters include HaiHa Le, Libby Tanner, Rose Riley, Aaron McGrath, Bruce Spence and introducing Willow Speers and Kaspar Frost.
