Maisie Richardson-Sellers to star in 'Of Kings and Prophets'

Actress Maisie Richardson-Sellers has joined ABC pilot 'Of Kings and Prophets'.

The biblical drama follows a battle-weary and violent king, a capable but bitter prophet and a resourceful shepherd.

Ray Winstone was last week confirmed to star as Saul, First King of Israel.

Richardson-Sellers, who stars in 'The Originals' as Rebekah's new body, will appear as the king's youngest child Michal, reported Deadline.

The actress was previously cast in 'Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens' and is rumoured to play a descendant of Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Shooting in South Africa, 'Of Kings and Prophets' is penned by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage. Jeffrey Nachmanoff will direct.
