"Scream Queens" actress Keke Palmer has been cast to join Epix's original scripted series "Berlin Station" Season 2 as series regular. She is on the move.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Palmer is going to play the newest and youngest case officer April Lewis assigned in "Berlin Station" Season 2. Her character is determined to make her mark on her first field assignment in Berlin Station after being an analyst at Langley Headquarters.
In "Berlin Station" Season 2, Palmer's character Lewis is also conveying a new-guard mentality even if in conflict with her old-guard colleagues as the system struggles to maintain its inundated identity. She is described as having a millennial intrepidity and old-fashioned attitude, Deadline reported.
Paramount Television and Anonymous Content renewed "Berlin Station" in November with the 10-episode Season 2. It focuses on a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) office in the middle of the now-infamous whistle blower's investigation.
"Berlin Station" trails the new arrival of Daniel Miller ("Strike Back" actor Richard Armitage) to the CIA Berlin station. Miller is on a secret mission to uncover the source of all Thomas Shaw leaks. Olen Steinhauer created and execute produces with the showrunner Bradford Winters, as well as Eric Roth, Keith Redmon, Steve Golin, Anonymous Content's Luke Rivett, and Kerry Kohansky.
Palmer joins the previously announced cast members, namely, "Jack Reacher" vet Richard Jenkins, "Snowden" actor Rhys Ifans (Hector DeJean), "Ray Donovan" actor Leland Orser (Robert Kirsch), "The Killing" actress Michelle Forbes (Valerie Edwards), and "Teen Wolf" actress Tamlyn Tomita (Sandra Abe) in "Berlin Station" Season 2. She was also reportedly the latest cast for the horror-comedy anthology "Scream Queens" but would not return anymore as Zayday if the Fox series is renewed.
Palmer's other acting credits include a six-episode arc on "Masters of Sex" Season 2, "Ice Age: Collision Course," "The Trip to Bountiful," and miniseries "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story" and "Full Circle." She is recently the first African American and young actress in Broadway history to join the 1957 musical "Cinderella" from Rogers and Hammerstein. She also appeared as Marty on Emmy-winning "Grease Live!" for Fox and is represented by WME, Laron Entertainment, and Hertz Lichtenstein.
"Berlin Station" Season 2 will start the production next month.
