Following the announcement that Hanelle Culpepper will be helming its pilot, the Picard solo Star Trek spin-off has begun to add new members to its cast.

Cabrera rose to fame as clairvoyant painter Isaac Mendez on the inaugural season of NBC’s Heroes. He has also had leading roles on HBO’s Big Little Lies and CBS’ Salvation. Comic fans will remember that back in 2007 Cabrera was cast as Arthur Curry/Aquaman in George Miller’s cancelled Justice League movie.
Hurd is currently starring on NBC’s Blindspot. She has also appeared on Hawaii Five-0 and Ash vs. Evil Dead. Marvel fans will know Hurd for her recurring role as District Attorney Samantha Reyes in Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
The series is set to commence production in Spring. No premiere date has been set.
