CASTING NEWS

Actress Laura Donnelly (Jenny Fraser on Outlander) has landed a lead role in the upcoming HBO Joss Whedon series The Nevers that got a straight-to-series order back in July. The series is a sci-fi epic about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world. Donnelly will star as Amalia True, the most reckless, impulsive, emotionally damaged hero of her time. A menace to stuffy Victorian society, she would die for the cause and kill for a drink.
