General Hospital's Jaime Ray Newman lands role in Little Fires Everywhere series

Jaime Ray Newman, who played General Hospital's Kristina Cassadine, is set to play a role in the highly anticipated Hulu miniseries Little Fires Everywhere.

The title may imply something small, but Little Fires Everywhere is set to be a big hit -- and it's going to star a face that is very familiar to daytime fans. Jaime Ray Newman, who played General Hospital character Kristina Cassadine, has joined the cast of Hulu's upcoming miniseries.

The project, based on Celeste Ng's novel of the same name, follows "the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. The story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood -- and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster."

Previously announced stars of Little Fires Everywhere include Reese Witherspoon, Joshua Jackson, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Kerry Washington.

"Honored to spar with these giants," Newman posted on Instagram when news of her joining the series -- which is slated to air in 2020 -- first broke.
