High Fidelity Reboot: Romantic Wreckage and Casting Details

What viewers can expect is for music-obsessed Rob to go through the “romantic wreckage of her top 5 heartbreaks.” She doesn’t have to do this alone, though. She has her besties, one of which is opinionated Cherise (Da’Vine Joy Randolph). Then there is her other BFF, moody Simon (David H. Holmes). Simon and Rob dated before he came out.

Rob is still trying to recover from her latest break-up, but finds someone she is interested in. His name is Clyde (Jake Lacy) and recently made the big move from Los Angeles to New York. He doesn’t have the same passion for music as Rob. However, his humor and openness are intriguing to the record store owner.
