AMC’s "Halt and Catch Fire" has cast its vote for Anna Chlumsky, enlisting "Veep‘s" four-time Emmy nominee to fill an “integral” Season 4 role.

During the AMC drama’s farewell run, Chlumsky will play what is described as the “crucial role” of Dr. Katie Herman, Chief Ontologist.



“From Day 1 on set, Anna has brought a wonderful new energy to the show, that both complements and somehow even further elevates the work of our core ensemble,” "Halt" co-creator Christopher C. Rogers said in a statement. “Anna brings a remarkable depth of personal experience and intention to this role, and we feel incredibly lucky to add an actress of her caliber to our palette even as we bring the series-long story of Halt and Catch Fire to a close.”

“We are huge fans of Anna,” added co-creator Christopher Cantwell. “She’s transformed the character of Katie into something truly special, and it’s quite a privilege to have such incredible talent bring this integral role to life.”



Chlumsky's new gig is not expected to interfere with her role on "Veep's" 7th Season.
