Filmmaker Jennifer Kaitlyn Robinson’s Netflix thriller “Do Revenge” starts out like the classic Hitchcock film “Strangers on a Train," but then quickly morphs into its own thing, complete with a stacked young ensemble. Set at the bougie Rosehill Country Day high school, the story follows two very different young women who find themselves hurting after being mistreated. The two girls decide to team up and get back at each other’s nemeses, bringing about a fun and twisted film full of famous faces.
Fans of the cast members — who have named themselves The Revengers — may be wondering where they've seen them before. Check out our complete "Do Revenge" cast and character guide below.

She teams up with Eleanor to get back at her enemies.

The social exile that followed brought Eleanor to largely isolate from friends, clinging to her emotional support bearded dragon and therapy until she decided to do a summer tennis camp, where she meats Drea and finds out about her past.
