‘True Blood’ Alum Rutina Wesley Headed to ‘Arrow’

Rutina Wesley is reportedly preparing to join the cast of Arrow in a mystery role.

Wesley is the latest in a list of newcomers said to be joining the series when it returns to The CW for a fourth season. We can guess that the former True Blood star will be part of one heck of a storyline since it’s said that she’ll be sticking around for a multi-episode arc.

Wesley is best known for her starring roles in True Blood and THannibal, and will be appearing in The Perfect Guy, which stars Sanaa Lathan, Morris Chestnut and Michael Ealy.

Also joining the the Arrow cast in the new season are Parker Young, who will play Oliver’s (Stephen Amell) sister Thea’s (Willa Holland) new love interest; Echo Kellum as DC superhero Mister Terrific; Neal McDonough as Damien Darhk; Jimmy Akingbola as DC Comics villain Baron Reiter (AKA Baron Blitzkrieg) and more.

Arrow returns to The CW on October 7th.
