CARTER LANCASTER

Voiced By: Jordan Doww @jordandoww (S1-2 Joshua Colley @joshuarobertcolley) “The North Star” 📍 From: All over🎧 Playlist Vibes:  Heartfelt ballads, earnest lyrics, songs that feel like handwritten letters✒️ Defining Trait: Knows exactly what to say… and means it☕️ Coffee Order: Honey latte— warm, steady, and impossible not to soften around Long before Lucas ever pressed play on a cassette tape, Carter Lancaster was leaving breadcrumbs. He recorded the original advice tapes during his own time at the boarding home… little pieces of guidance meant for whoever might need them next. He never imagined just how much they would matter. Carter has always had a protector’s heart. He’s kind in a way that isn’t performative. Sweet without being naive. The kind of person who listens fully before he speaks. And when he does, it lands. As an adult, he’s still that steady presence. Still offering wisdom. Still believing deeply in the magic of the boarding home and the people it gathers. He doesn’t need credit. He doesn’t need attention. He just wants to do good in the world and help others find their way. For Lucas, he isn’t just a voice on a tape. He’s proof that it can all work out.

Carter’s story continues in MOONBURN Season Three, premiering WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3RD 🌙

JULIAN MONROE

Voiced By: Briggon Snow @briggon   “The Hard-ass Protector”   📍 From: New Orleans, LA (then Boston, MA) 🎧 Playlist Vibes:  Brooding vinyl, sharp lyrics, songs that build slowly and hit hard ✒️ Defining Trait: Tough exterior, generous core ☕️ Coffee Order: Straight espresso— no nonsense, no extra foam   Julian doesn’t do chaos.   When he steps in to run B-Side Records while August is away, the vibe shifts. Where August was effortless cool, Julian is structure, standards, and expectations. He believes in doing things right… even if that means being the bad guy in the moment. Back in the ’90s, Julian was the fourth housemate alongside Carter, Carina, and August. He and Lucas butt heads immediately. Julian sees recklessness where Lucas sees heart. Lucas sees coldness where Julian sees responsibility. But beneath the tension is something deeper: recognition. They’re more alike than either wants to admit. Julian is thoughtful and fiercely protective. He fights because he’s always had to. And when he cares about something (or someone), it means something.   Julian’s story begins in MOONBURN Season Three, premiering WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3RD 🌙

AUGUST MONROE

Voiced By: Chris Renfro @themeatskeleton   📍 From: New Orleans, LA but moved around a lot 🎧 Playlist Vibes: Vintage vinyl, deep cuts, and that one song that will break your heart ✒️ Defining Trait: The cool older sibling who never asks too many questions ☕️ Coffee Order: Espresso shot (or two)— strong, energetic, and leaves an impression August is still an experience.   No matter what they’re going through, they have an aura that’s easy to fall in love with. They still know the best music you’ve never heard, the weirdest stories you’ve ever listened to, and the secret spots all over the city you just have to check out. August has always believed life is better when you stay curious. About people. About stories. About whatever strange thing might be waiting around the next corner. They don’t pretend to have all the answers. They just know there’s usually another song worth listening to. And another adventure worth taking.   August’s story continues in MOONBURN Season Three, premiering WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3RD 🌙

CARINA WITHERS

Voiced By: Kelly Lamor Wilson @kellylamorwilson

“The House Mom (& Chaos Manager)”

📍 From: Providence, RI🎧 Playlist Vibes: Timeless wisdom, bittersweet nostalgia, and a touch of cosmic fate

✒️ Defining Trait: Always knows the right thing to say, even when you don’t want to hear it

☕️ Coffee Order: London Fog— warm, thoughtful, and a little dreamy

Carina is still the glue that holds Bourbon Street Boarding together, even under construction.   She’s seen countless people come and go through the boarding home over the years, and somehow, she always knows exactly what someone needs. Whether that’s life-changing advice, a reality check, or a gentle push in the right direction. Part landlord, part mentor, part chaos manager, Carina has built a life around helping people find their footing. She believes deeply in second chances, found family, and the strange ways life brings people together. Sometimes all it takes is following a few simple rules found in your welcome basket… and your heart, of course.   Carina’s story continues in MOONBURN Season Three, premiering WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3RD 🌙

KALEB BENNETT

Voiced By: Adam Faison @adamfaison

“The First Love”

📍 From: North Carolina 🎧 Playlist Vibes:  Soft acoustic confessions and comfort songs that still sting a little ✒️ Defining Trait: Gentle, quiet, even when he’s hurting ☕️ Coffee Order: Vanilla latte — simple, warm, and quietly comforting

Kaleb is the kind of person who makes a place immediately feel like home. 

Soft-spoken, kind, and steady in a way that makes you exhale without realizing you’ve been holding your breath. He was the first to welcome Lucas into the boarding home, into the friend group, into something that felt safe. Their love was kind on late-night talks and shared glances and plenty of speed bumps. Still, Kaleb was carrying his own wounds. A complicated ex. Old trauma. Secrets he wasn’t always ready to unpack. Kaleb isn’t flashy. He’s not dramatic. He just wants good vibes, honest conversations, and a life that feels peaceful. He loved Lucas in a way that changed them both. And first loves don’t disappear. They evolve.

Kaleb’s story continues in MOONBURN Season Three, premiering WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3RD 🌙

NATE GODFREY

Voiced By: Charlie Besso @charliebesso

“The Work In Progress”

📍 From: Madison, WI 🎧 Playlist Vibes:  Midwest melancholy, redemption arcs, songs that sound better at 1 a.m. ✒️ Defining Trait: Defensive, but deeply hopeful ☕️ Coffee Order: Black coffee with one sugar— trying to be tough, but not quite bitter

Nate is trying very hard to become someone better. 

He knows what it means to regret choices. He and Lucas share a history… childhood best friends, inside jokes, the kind of closeness that feels unbreakable… until high school happened. Nate chose survival. He chose fitting in. He chose protecting himself. And in doing so, he hurt the one person who had always known him best. Now he’s in New York for the same reason Lucas once was. A fresh start. A second chance. A place to figure out who he actually is. Nate doesn’t open up easily. He deflects. He gets defensive. He struggles to admit when he’s wrong. But underneath all that armor is someone who cares more than he knows how to express. Someone who wants desperately to make things right. Not just with Lucas, but with himself. 

Nate’s story begins in MOONBURN Season Three, premiering WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3RD 🌙

ZACH LOCKWOOD

Voiced By: Kevin McHale @kevinmchale

“The Enigma” 📍 From: The Hamptons, NY 🎧 Playlist Vibes: Dreamy, dramatic, and just a little self-sabotaging ✒️ Defining Trait: Keeps his cards very close to the chest—but plays for the people he loves. ☕️ Coffee Order: Flat white, extra hot—quietly complex, a little refined, and a lot harder to figure out than it looks.

Zach still keeps his walls high.

But over time, those walls he's built around himself have started to crack in unexpected ways. Not because he's changed completely, but because he's finally found people worth letting in. Zach feels everything deeply, even when he doesn't show it. He's protective, loyal, and willing to carry more than his share if it means sparing someone else the burden. Sometimes he overthinks. Sometimes he's his own worst enemy. But for someone who spends so much time questioning himself, he's become a steady presence for the people who matter most. Getting close to Zach might not be easy, but it’s definitely worth it.

RYAN CALLAWAY

Voiced By: Anthony Turpel @anthony_turpel

“The Golden Retriever” 📍 From: Philadelphia, PA 🎧 Playlist Vibes: Big energy and good vibes ✒️ Defining Trait: Recklessly optimistic and surprisingly wise ☕️ Coffee Order: Cold brew with extra cream—simple, effective, and will absolutely make his heart race Ryan can still turn a stranger into a friend in under five minutes. 

He’s back in school studying to become a therapist, which honestly makes a lot of sense once you get past the nonstop sports references and reckless optimism. He's always been one of the people his friends gravitate toward when things fall apart. He’s the one who listens without judgment and somehow knows how to make hard things feel a little less heavy. He's energetic, optimistic, and has enough enthusiasm for three people on a good day. He still loves big. He still forgives fast. And he'll absolutely watch any game with you. Some things never change (and never should).

OLIVIA CARMICHAEL

Voiced By: Teala Dunn @ttlyteala

“The Calm, Cool, Collected One” 📍 From: San Diego, CA 🎧 Playlist Vibes: Laid-back confidence, effortless cool, sun-kissed nostalgia ✒️ Defining Trait: Soft-spoken, but never overlooked ☕️ Coffee Order: Honey almond cold brew— smooth, sweet, and stronger than you expect

Olivia still knows exactly who she is. 

She has a way of putting people at ease without even trying. A calm confidence. A quiet kindness. The sense that no matter what's happening, things might actually turn out okay. Since moving to New York, she's built a life that's entirely her own. She's learned when to trust her instincts, when to stand her ground, and when to walk away from people who don't deserve her energy. She still believes in the best in others, but she's gotten better at believing in herself, too. She's thoughtful, optimistic, and one of the first people to show up when someone needs support. And while she may not always be the loudest voice in the room, don't mistake that for hesitation. It’s strength.

SADIE LENNOX

Voiced By: Alexandra Daniels @alexandrawdaniels

“The Chaos Queen”



📍 From: Boston, MA
🎧 Playlist Vibes: Bad bitch energy, untouchable confidence with a hidden soft side
✒️ Defining Trait: Unshakably loyal, but you have to earn it
🍵 Coffee Order: Iced matcha latte with pastured raised A2/A2, a quarter sweet with muscovado if they have it (if not, honey is fine)— bold, elegant and just a little unpredictable

 

Sadie is still the queen bee of BSB.

She moved to New York determined to make something of herself, and if there’s one thing Sadie does well, it’s commit. To her friends. To her career(s). To the life she’s building. She has an opinion on everything and isn’t afraid to share it. She’ll hype you up, call you out, and somehow make you grateful for both. But beneath the confidence and quick wit is someone who’s learning that strength doesn’t always mean handling everything alone. The people she cares about have become family, whether she likes admitting it or not. And while Sadie will always be the first person to jump into a crisis, she’s slowly getting better at letting others show up for her, too. Even if it means opening up her heart to new love…

LUCAS SEVILLA

 Voiced By: Anthony Keyvan @anthonykeyvan

 “The New Kid”

 

📍 From: Madison, WI
🎶 Playlist Vibes: Nostalgic indie anthems with main character moments
✒️ Defining Trait: Awkward, but in an endearing way
☕️ Coffee Order: Iced lavender latte with oat milk— gentle, comforting, and a little sweet

Lucas is still trying his best.

After leaving behind everything he’s ever known and starting over in New York City, he’s learned that fresh starts are messy, healing isn’t linear, and figuring out who you are takes time. Lucas still overthinks everything, apologizes way too often, and has a tendency to talk himself through just about any situation. But beneath all the anxious rambling and self-doubt is someone incredibly brave. Someone with so much heart, determination, and fight. He loves fiercely, shows up for the people he cares about, and refuses to give up on the life he’s building for himself.
