Power star Lela Loren has landed a major new TV role just days after the show's sixth and final season premiered with a huge twist.
As reported by TVLine, the actress will have a regular role on season 2 of Netflix's Altered Carbon. She's set to play a character named Danica Harlan, who's described as a "charming and ambitious" governor of the planet Harlan's Word.
"She has the support of the people," the description reads, "but keeps an uneasy grip on the political players who surround her".

Season 2 of Altered Carbon will see the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Anthony Mackie take over the role of Takeshi Kovacs, which was originally played by Joel Kinnaman, since the show is set in a world where people can download their consciousness into other bodies.

In the first episode of season 6 of Power, Loren's character Angela Valdes was killed off after being shot in the chest.
Loren actually wasn't too bothered about her character's death though, stating that it was a "fantastic catalyst" and "poetic justice".

"There’s so much richness there for the characters to go and play," she said, "so I think Angela’s death is great for all of the characters".
Power airs on Sundays at 9pm on Starz in the US and on Netflix in the UK. Altered Carbon is expected to return in 2020.
