Two familiar faces will soon be checking into The Night Shift.
Under the Dome heroine Rachelle Lefevre and Rookie Blue alum Missy Peregrym have been cast in the Season 4 finale in potentially substantial roles, THR.com reports.
Lefevre will play military doctor Major Natasha Anthony, while Peregrym will portray Reagan, a paramedic who clashes with Drew. Both roles have the potential to recur if the medical drama is renewed for Season 5.
Peregrym recently booked a series regular role in Season 2 of Syfy’s Van Helsing, while ABC in May passed on Lefevre’s Doomsday pilot.
The Night Shift finale is set air on Thursday, Aug. 31 at 10/9c on NBC
