When we first caught up with Logan Allen back in Season 2 (circa 2022), Kyle Townsend was still trying to find his footing, struggling to navigate where he fit in the often complicated but overall serene town of Serenity.

Season 5 sees Kyle stepping into his own in more ways than one. With his big bro forging his own music-centric path in Europe, Kyle is no longer the kid brother trying to keep up—he’s becoming one of Serenity’s most grounded young adults.
