The House of Cards alum will play President-elect Elizabeth Keane on Season 6 of Showtime’s drama, Deadline reports.
Keane is a former junior senator from New York who’s described as “bright, charming and lively,” a straight-shooter who’s “a natural politician.”
Homeland has voted Elizabeth Marvel into office.
The sixth season, which will premiere in January, will take place entirely between Election Day and Inauguration Day and will chronicle a tense transition of power.
