Charles Melton has dropped out of Elijah Bynum’s L.A. crime thriller “My Darling California” and “Lurker” actor Daniel Zolghadri is stepping in as his replacement, Variety can exclusively reveal.

Zolghadri will play Kent, a young man “who is caught in an escalating conflict that quickly spirals beyond his control,” and “forced to confront long-buried questions” after a figure from his past unexpectedly reemerges, according to an official description. Reps for Melton did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the exit.
