GAME OF THRONES’ Natalie Dormer has joined PENNY DREADFUL: CITY OF ANGELS, Showtime announced.

Dormer—who previously appeared on the Showtime series THE TUDORS—will play Magda. Showtime describes the character as “a supernatural demon who can take the appearance of anyone she chooses and manifests in a number of guises throughout the story. Charismatic, clever and chameleonic, Magda is a dangerous enemy and an invaluable ally.”

Per Showtime, the new series—from PD creator John Logan—is a “spiritual descendant” of the original. “Set in Victorian-era London, the next chapter opens in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension. Rooted in the conflict between characters connected to the deity Santa Muerte and others allied with the Devil, PENNY DREADFUL: CITY OF ANGELS will explore an exciting mix of the supernatural and the combustible reality of that period, creating new occult myths and moral dilemmas within a genuine historical backdrop. This chapter is a bold new vision that will employ all new characters and storylines.”

Jessica Garza and Johnathan Nieves are also set to co-star in the show. CITY OF ANGELS is set to start production later this year.
