Stopping the essence of time itself is no small feat, but something tells us the newest additions to the Army of the 12 Monkeys are up for the challenge.
In a fun bit of genre-bending, Syfy’s time traveling thriller, "12 Monkeys" has tapped none other than Hannah Waddingham—a.k.a. Septa “Shame Nun” Unella from "Game of Thrones" — and Faran Tahir — most recently seen as Captain Nemo on "Once Upon a Time", but you know him from SO many things—for recurring roles on the show next season, as we can exclusively reveal to you right here on Nerdist!
Cue the air horns of celebration (but not too loudly; we don’t want to alert the Army to our presence)!
Waddingham will take on the character named Magdalena, a member of an apocalyptic cult charged with protecting the Witness. You know, that spooky-scary mystery man with a plan to end all of time itself? (Also ostensibly the leader of the Army of the 12 Monkeys and, major spoiler alert, the son of Cassie and Cole?)
Dubbed “both ruthless and expedient” in her methods, something tells us she won’t be so far off from her shame bell-wielding days on "Thrones".
As for Tahir, whom you may also know from Star Trek and Iron Man and basically every other genre thing to come out in the last few years, will play Mallick, an imposing and “devout enforcer of the Army of the 12 Monkeys” who resides in Titan.
But what’s his deal? As of now, we’re unsure. But hey, mystery’s half the fun of this show, right?
