Katee Sackhoff Cast in Netflix’s Another Life

Starbuck will fly again… sort of. Deadline just announced that Katee Sackhoff, of Battlestar Galactica fame, has been cast as astronaut Niko Breckenridge in the Netflix drama Another Life.

Another Life follows Sackhoff’s character as she leads a crew on a mission to explore the genesis of an alien artifact. As they investigate and the danger intensifies, it becomes increasingly possible that they may be on a one-way mission. Yikes. Sounds like a cross between Prometheus and Lost in Space, and I am very into it—especially if Sackhoff stars.

Netflix has ordered 10 episodes for Another Life‘s first season, which comes from creator Aaron Martin (Being Erica, Slasher, Saving Hope, Degrassi: The Next Generation). Alias Grace‘s Noreen Halpern will serve as an executive for Halfire Entertainment. 

Though perhaps best known for her work on Battlestar Galactica as Lieutenant Kara Thrace, Sackhoff has been starring on Longmire for the past six seasons. The crime drama on A&E for its first four seasons before moving to Netflix, following its temporary cancellation. Sackhoff has also recently appeared on The Flash as villainess Amunet Black, complete with a wonderfully over-the-top British accent.
