The Messengers alum Anna Diop has been cast opposite Corey Hawkins and Miranda Otto in Fox pilot 24: Legacy, which reboots the 24 franchise with brand new characters and casr.

Written by 24 veterans Manny Coto and Evan Katz and directed by Stephen Hopkins (who helmed the original 24 pilot), 24: Legacy chronicles military hero Eric Carter's (Hawkins) return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back – compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.

Diop will play Nicole, Carter's wife. It is expected to be a significant role, just as the wife of Jack Bauer was on the original series.

Diop, who was a series regular on the CW's The Messengers, recently recurred on ABC's Quantico and will next be seen recurring on OWN's Greenleaf. She's repped by Abrams Artists Agency.
