Access Hollywood is reporting that Arrow has cast Star Trek Voyager’s erstwhile Seven of Nine, Jeri Ryan, for a season 4 guest spot. According to the article, Ryan will be playing Jessica Danforth, a friend of the Queen family. Her political ambitions will place her in the crosshairs of a menacing antagonist.

Ryan’s episode is scheduled to air on October 14, 2015 – the show’s second.

Could that  antagonist be Damien Darhk as played by Neal McDonough, who was announced early this month as the show’s big for season 4?

 

 

Other season 4 casting news includes:

• Jimmy Akingbola as Baron Reiter who will be seen in the season 4 flashbacks
• Alexander Calvert as Lonnie Machin/Anarky
• Echo Kellum as Misteric Terrific – who will be working closely with Felicity this season.

Arrow season 4 will premiere on the CW and CTV on October 7, 2015 at 8pm ET/PT
