The third season will also see Justin Cornwell, Britne Oldford, Jake Epstein, Genesis Rodriguez, Cazzie David, Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton as newcomers to the show. 

The makers had released the character posters for The Sparrow Academy back in January. The posters gave the fans the first look into the members of the alternative academy formed by Sir Reginald.
