Alexandra Metz (The Originals) has booked a recurring role on CBS' crime drama procedural NCIS: New Orleans. Metz will play Billy S., a young pregnant woman in 2005 distraught over the recent shooting of her husband during a hurricane. She is working with investigators to make sense of everything and find her husband's missing body. When LaSalle (Lucas Black), a troubled detective, appears impatient and dismissive with her, she sees right through him, going from vulnerability to strength and anger as she puts him in his place. Reunited 10 years later, despite the tragic and difficult memories they shared, she is happy to see him again and curious to see how he's changed. Metz, repped by Don Buchwald & Associates and Bob McGowan Management, also recurred on Chicago Fire.

Melanie Papalia (Suits) has been cast opposite Priscilla Faia in DirecTV's You Me Her, from Entertainment One Television. The series is described as a twist on the indie rom-com, a "polyromantic" comedy that centers on a three-way relationship — two of the parties a suburban married couple. Papalia will play Nina Martone, Izzy's (Faia) best friend and roommate who's also an escort and a bit of a bad girl with a heart of gold. Papalia is repped by Industry Entertainment and Innovative Artists.
