The Fear The Walking Dead and If Loving You Is Wrong actress has just landed a recurring role on the upcoming CW series Black Lightning.
Findley will play Tori, the younger sister of Tobias Whales. Though Black Lightning is based on the DC Comics, it will be a stand alone and not be apart of Arrowverse. For fans of the current DC shows on CW it means no crossovers.
Black Lightning is set to premiere sometime in 2018 and stars Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning. After letting go of his vigilante ways, his daughter Jennifer is determined to bring justice to their city. When she’s recruited by a local gang, he decides to dig in his closet and put on his suit once again.
Deadline tells us, Black Lightning reunites Findley with Berlanti. She did an arc on Brothers and Sisters, which Berlanti executive produced. Her other credits include recurring roles on David Simon’s HBO series The Wire and Treme, as well as Veep. She most recently appeared on Fox limited series Shots Fired and also stars in indie film Free in Deed, which won Best Film in the Horizon’s category at the Venice Film Festival. Findley is repped by APA and Silver Lining Entertainment.
“Edwina is a fantastic talent, and I am so excited she is joining us,” said showrunner and executive producer Salim Akil.
Findley will appear in the Season 3 finale of Fear the Walking Dead which airs Sunday night at 9 pm ET on AMC.
