Regina King — best known for her roles on ‘Southland’, ’24’, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and plenty more — has officially joined the cast of ‘The Leftovers’ for season 2.
‘The Leftovers’ focuses on a family led by Justin Theroux, who are dealing with the fallout of a ‘rapture’ where two percent of the world’s population just disappears one day with no explanation as to why or how it happened.
King joins the show as a series regular for the new season where she plays Erika Murphy, a doctor who runs the local urgent care center in town while also married with two kids. How she interacts with the existing cast that’s returning is unknown, but King is expected to have a featured role in the new season.
‘The Leftovers’ season 2 is expected to debut on HBO later this year.
