AppleTV+'s Foundation; CBS' The Equalizer; and Netflix's The Night Agent.
CBS' THE EQUALIZER
- Jada Pinkett Smith will reunite with Queen Latifah in an upcoming episode of the drama's second season. They previously starred together in the 1996 film Set It Off and in the 2017 film Girls Trip. She recently reprised her role as Niobe in the film The Matrix Resurrections - after previously appearing in the second and third films in the Matrix franchise.
- She will play Jessie Cook, a savant-level thief with a photographic memory. Though she's brilliant and the best at what she does, she's also devious, unpredictable and amoral. Briefly recruited by the CIA for her skills, Jessie and McCall (Queen Latifah) once worked a mission together back in the day, and though the two get along like oil and water, they're a whole lot of fun to watch.
APPLE TV+'s FOUNDATION

- Laughland (the Harry Potter franchise) will play Brother Constant, a cheerfully confident cleric whose job is to evangelize the Church of the Galactic Spirit across the Outer Reach. Constant is a true believer, whose courage and passion make her hard not to love.
- Ghir (Blinded by the Light) will play Poly Verisof, High Cleric of the Church of the Galactic Spirit. Whip-smart and sardonic, he's also a terrible drunk - intelligent enough to see the path he's on, but too cynical to change.

- McCallany (Mindhunter) will play Warden Jaegger Fount, the current Warden of Terminus and guardian of its citizens against external threats.
