A new casting announcement has been made for The CW's small screen adaptation of Kass Morgan's The 100, and this time it's long-time television actress Kelly Hu who's joined the futuristic fold.
According to Deadline, Hu will star as Cece, the chief communications officer of The Ark, a ship which resides above earth following the destruction of nuclear war.
Hu boasts many, many TV credits, including The CW's own The Vampire Diaries along with Arrow, Young Justice, Hawaii Five-0, Army Wives, CSI: NY, Nash Bridges, Sunset Beach and on back to Growing Pains.
Kelly Hu joins Eliza Taylor, Marie Avgeropoulos, Paige Turco, Isaiah Washington, Thomas McDonell and Christopher Larkin for the cast of the show.
The story synopsis for The 100 is as follows:
In the future, humans live in citylike spaceships orbiting far above Earth's toxic atmosphere. No one knows when, or even if, the long-abandoned planet will be habitable again. But faced with dwindling resources and a growing populace, government leaders know they must reclaim their homeland...before it's too late.
Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a high-stakes mission to recolonize Earth. After a brutal crash landing, the teens arrive on a savagely beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. But they're haunted by their past and uncertain about the future. To survive, they must learn to trust-and even love-again.
The 100 will hit shelves on Sept. 3 and is currently available for pre-ordering.
