Sounds harmless enough, right? Not so much. Max and Rose will explore old feelings for one another as the season progresses, which could pose problems to fans rooting for Zoey and Max’s on-again-off-again romance.

Findlay is best known for her roles in shows such as Nancy Drew, The Killing, How to Get Away with Murder, The Carrie Diaries, Man Seeking Woman, and The Magicians among others. No details about how many episodes Findlay will appear in have been unveiled at this time, but her character Rose will make her first appearance in the March 28 midseason premiere episode.
