The Nevers follows in the footsteps of Buffy with a fantastical story featuring powerful female characters.
Deadline brings word that Joss Whedon’s (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Justice League, Avengers: Age of Ultron) upcoming new series at HBO, The Nevers, has found its lead in Outlander star Laura Donnelly.
“Laura Donnelly has charisma, wisdom and an anarchic precision that not only captures Amalia but defines her,” Whedon said.
“The Nevers is maybe the most ambitious narrative I’ve created,” Whedon, who also co-created Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, previously stated.
