Jeffrey Dean Morgan joins the cast of Extant
Freed from Magic City, Jeffrey Dean Morgan will join season two of Extant as JD Richter, a cop from the future who meets his match in Halle Berry’s Molly Woods. Deadline describes Morgan’s character as “roguish womanizer” and “a freewheeling, hard-drinking and fearless, bordering on reckless mercenary.” (So perhaps Morgan can just completely reprise Watchmen’s Comedian, and do all this in a domino mask.) In other casting news, Goran Visnjic, Camryn Manheim, Grace Gummer, and Pierce Gagnon are all returning, while Hiroyuki Sanada and Michael O’Neill are not.
