She’s the top pick for the role, but Variety says her Heroes Reborn schedule “might conflict” with filming, which is to begin in November and last several months. Heroes Reborn has wrapped filming so I’m assuming NBC might green-light a second season and that would cause the conflict.
Jack Reacer 2 will be based on Lee Child’s “Never Go Back,” which is the 18th book in the series. In it, “Reacher travels from South Dakota to the Virginia headquarters of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps and finds his new commanding officer has been arrested.”
As for Yarosh, she’ll play Malina in Heroes Reborn, a very sheltered, bold and ethereal teenager. She also spent two seasons on Showtime’s Shameless and guest starred on on shows such as Law & Order: SVU, In Plain Sight, and 1600 Penn.
Heroes Reborn premieres September 24 at 8/7c on NBC.
