Lexi’s character in Cruel Summer Season 2
Lexi Underwood is one of the newest stars of Freeform’s original hit series Cruel Summer. Her role was actually announced on April 27 in a recasting for the part of Isabella. According to the Deadline article Lexi posted to Instagram, Isabella is the daughter of foreign diplomats. Spending the year as an exchange student, she shakes up a small town while staying with the Landry family. But, Isabella’s charm can’t hide her secrets forever…sooner or later, they will be revealed.
