Mekia Cox is joining the cast of J.J. Abrams’ hotly anticipated new series, Undercovers. Cox, who recently appeared in the 90210 remake, is replacing Jessica Parker Kennedy in a supporting role.
Undercovers tells the story of a pair of married ex-CIA agents who get drawn back into the spy life. Cox will play ‘Lizzy’, the sister of the female lead (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), who has no idea of her family’s secret agent past.
Undercovers will premiere on NBC this fall.
