Drew Van Acker Cast as Aqualad For Titans Season Two

The Titans roster is expanding in season two, with Aqualad set to make his debut. TV Insider has confirmed that Drew Van Acker (Pretty Little Liars) will play Garth, the Atlantean known as a member of the Titans in the comic books.

Originally debuting in 1960s Adventure Comics #269, Garth is a founding member of the Titans and was Aquaman’s eager sidekick as Aqualad. Born in Atlantis and a member of the royal court, Garth was trained by Aquaman as a protector of life above and below the ocean. He would eventually step out from the shadow of his mentor to become his own hero as a Titan along with many other former sidekicks.

Titans is expected to premiere its second season later this year on DC Universe.
