The cast list of Keep Breathing

The cast list of Keep Breathing is a short one, primarily because the series consists of pieced-together isolated events from the past and the present.

The show will mostly follow the protagonist, Liv, as she battles her way through. Here is the complete cast list of the Netflix thriller.


Melissa Barrera plays Liv

The actress will play the lead role of Liv, an attorney who finds herself the sole survivor of a plane crash, in Keep Breathing.

Talking about her role, Barrera has shared how challenging it has been to work 12 to 14 hours per day trudging through the wilderness. She admits that it is one of the hardest things she has done to date.
