Jogia will play Danny, described as likable, brash, sexy and charismatic, joining previously cast Maddie Hasson and Kylie Bunbury.

Socio centers on Danny (Jogia), a 16-year-old alleged sociopath who reconnects with his two childhood best friends (Hasson and Bunbury) when he returns to his hometown to attend high school. However, once he arrives, he finds himself the prime suspect when a fellow student is murdered.

Danny proves to have a shady past: The teen is a convicted murderer who killed his aunt five years ago and has recently been released from custody. Though he admits to the murder of his aunt, Danny claims there was reasoning behind his action -- one that he has yet to reveal.

Greek's Adam Milch wrote the pilot and will serve as co-executive producer. The pilot will be produced by Prodco, Inc.
