Deadline reported that Kristen Gutoskie will be playing the role of Seline, a warm and nurturing nanny. Meanwhile, there are still no updates as to who will be playing Sybil. There are rumors that the role is not given to anyone because Nina Dobrev will be giving life to the character.

According to TVLine, Sybil is "an immortal who uses her immeasurable power and influence to control other people." The character is not very friendly and is close to Dobrev's character Katherine, who is the most ruthless, notorious and infamous vampire in history.
