Judd, who will also star in Showtime’s Twin Peaks reboot, will play B.B. Yates, Berlin’s disarming new Chief of Station, aka “The Station Whisperer,” for her itinerant work in the field shoring up CIA stations in moral or corporate disrepair. Part loyalist and part maverick, B.B. toes a dangerous line between serving those above her and empowering those below her. Always a contradiction, she arrives in Berlin to defy expectations and breathe new life into the troubled CIA station she now runs.
Judd is the latest addition to the cast for the new season, joining previously announced series regular Keke Palmer of Scream Queens fame, who will star as April Lewis.
Filming is set to kick off on location in Berlin on March 31 with a likely premiere later this year on EPIX.
