Stitchers is executive-produced by Jeffrey Alan Schechter (Overruled!), Jonathan Baruch and Rob Wolken. The series stars Emma Ishta as Kirsten Clark, Kyle Harris (Carrie Diaries) as Cameron Goodkin, Ritesh Rajan (upcoming Jungle Book feature) as Linus Ahluwalia, Salli Richardson-Whitfield (Eureka, I Am Legend) as Maggie Baptiste, and Allison Scagliotti (Warehouse 13) as Camille Engelson.
