Kristen Schaal's Number Two finds the four gifted orphans for Mr. Benedict, which includes Mystic Inscho as Reynie, Seth Carr as Sticky, Emmy DeOliveira as Kate and Marta Kessler as Constance.

Mr. Benedict believes the orphans are the key to stopping his twin due to their knowledge and unique abilities.

"You're the only ones capable of seeing the truth, then together you are immensely powerful," Hale's Mr. Benedict says.

The Mysterious Benedict Society, based on the best-selling book series by Trenton Lee Stewart, is coming to Disney+ on June 25.
