The Expanse casts Lost star Elizabeth Mitchell in key role
The Expanse is expanding.
During the shows Comic-Con panel (moderated by this writer) in San Diego, it was announced that former Lost, V, and Once Upon a Time star Elizabeth Mitchell would be joining the cast in a recurring role for season 3.
Mitchell an Emmy nominee for her work as Dr. Juliet Burke on ABCs mysterious island drama will be playing a character that, according to the network, brings a new, spiritual perspective to the series.
Judging by that description, its possible Mitchell could be playing Anna Volovodov, a Methodist pastor who is first introduced in the third novel in The Expanse book series, Abaddons Gate. In the books, Volovodov is sent out on the Thomas Prince to help explore the Ring, but trouble breaks out on the ship when it reaches the Slow Zone, with Anna at the center of the action. But it is also entirely possible that Mitchell could be playing a character unique to the television adaptation since the show has sprinkled in entirely new people as well.
