Joseph heeft een terugkerende rol gescoord in de TNT serie ‘Animal Kingdom’, hij zal te zien zijn als Jed de broer van personage Colin in de serie.

Former The Vampire Diaries and The Originals star Joseph Morgan has a TV comeback lined up.

The Klaus Mikaelson actor is set to star in a recurring role in TNT drama series Animal Kingdom, playing the role of Colin’s (Grant Harvey) brother Jed.

The character is part of a series of flashbacks to 1977, which document how Janine (Leila George) turned into crime family matriarch Smurf (Ellen Barkin).

Morgan has a fairly busy TV schedule coming up with roles in a TV adaptation of movie Gone Baby Gone, as well as an adaptation of the classic novel Brave New World.

Meanwhile, last year The Originals creator Julie Plec opened up about an unused storyline involving Morgan’s character Klaus.

“The one thing that we never did that I wanted to do for five years was a fan ask that I really wanted to honour — showing Klaus’ full transformation into a werewolf,” she explained.

“For many years we didn’t get there for financial reasons, and then it was just story reasons, and then back to financial reasons. And then the show was over.”

Animal Kingdom continues on TNT on Tuesday (July 23) at 9/8c.

Joseph is gecast in de nieuwe sci-fi serie ”Brave New World’, de serie gebaseerd op een boek uit 1932 zal uitgezonden worden op de Amerikaanse zender USA Network. Het is nog niet bekend wanneer de serie precies zal verschijnen.

Brave New World‘s population continues to rise. USA Network’s forthcoming adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s classic sci-fi novel has added Pitch‘s Kylie Bunbury, The Originals‘ Joseph Morgan and Killjoys‘ Hannah John-Kamen in series-regular roles, Deadline reports.

Also newly cast are Nina Sosanya (Killing Eve) and Sen Mitsuji (Origin). They join previously announced stars Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story), Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey) and Harry Lloyd (Game of Thrones).

Huxley’s novel, first published in 1932 and read by you as a teenager, is set in a futuristic utopian society “that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself,” according to the official logline. Findlay’s Lenina and Lloyd’s Bernard Marx are New London citizens who “have only ever known a rigid social order, a perfect pharmaceutical called Soma, and a culture of instant gratification and ubiquitous sex.” Together, they set off on a vacation to the Savage Lands, “where they become embroiled in a harrowing and violent rebellion.” They are ultimately rescued by Ehrenreich’s John the Savage, who “escapes with them back to New London” and “threatens to disrupt its utopian harmony.”

Bunbury will play Lenina’s best friend Frannie, a Beta Plus who has learned to embrace New London’s social order, while Morgan has been cast as CJack60, an Epsilon who works a series of physically demanding jobs and bears witness to a terrifying incident. John-Kamen will play self-indulgent artist Wilhelmina “Helm” Watson, while Sosanya and Mitsuji have been cast as Henry Foster and Mustapha Mond.
