The sixth season of The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow has added Aliyah O’Brien to the cast in a mysterious role.
With Caity Lotz’s Sara Lance kidnapped by aliens in the Legends of Tomorrow season five finale, the team will need all the help they can get during season six, even Gary Green will be around the group more. A new report from Deadline confirms that Bates Motel star Aliyah O’Brien has joined the cast of The CW show in a mystery role. The outlet’s character description for O’Brien’s role seems to imply that she’ll be an alien warrior that the team both work with and go up against in the next batch of episodes.
Aliyah O’Brien joins the series in a recurring role while Shayan Sobhian was upped to series regular last year. But according to Deadline, O’Brien’s mysterious character ‘Kayla’ has no time for human incompetence and struggles to deal with the bizarre dysfunctional nature of the team. The series will return later this year, so there’s plenty of time to theorize if Aliyah O’Brien is playing a character adapted from the comics or if she’s an original creation for the series. Take a look at Deadline’s character description below.
“O’Brien will play Kayla, a fearsome warrior with a high body count and low patience for human incompetence. She’ll be put through her paces working with and against the Legends as she’s certainly not used to messing anything up much less for the better.”
