Two Arrow alums are getting their law degrees: Juliana Harkavy and Kacey Rohl have joined ABC’s L.A. Law revival drama pilot, our sister site Deadline reports. The casting reunites the actresses with Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim, who is co-writing the project.
The updated take is once again set at the venerable law firm of McKenzie Brackman, which has reinvented itself as “a litigation firm specializing in only the most high profile, boundary pushing and incendiary cases,” per the official synopsis. Harkavy — who portrayed Dinah Drake on Arrow — will play Yvette Cabrera, “a savvy attorney and ‘legal badass’ who is pitted against [her ex-lover] Alana (Hari Nef) in an unexpectedly controversial case that makes headlines.”
Rohl — who recurred as hacker Alena on Arrow and has also memorably appeared on The Magicians and Hannibal — will take on the role of Sonia Layton, “a social justice warrior who works as the office administrator at McKenzie Brackman, but probably has as sharp a legal mind as any of the attorneys on staff.”
