Olivia Rose Keegan, Navia Robinson, and Oscar Morgan Cast in CW's GOTHAM KNIGHTS Pilot
Olivia Rose Keegan (Days of Our Lives, High School Musical: The Musical - The Series), Navia Robinson (Raven’s Home), and Oscar Morgan (Millie Inbetween, Warren) have been cast in the CW’s Gotham Knights series pilot. They join Fallon Smythe (Most Likely to Murder) and Tyler DiChiara (Relish), who were announced to have joined the series earlier this week.
“Based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, the one-hour drama takes place in in the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder. His rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. And as the city’s most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it’s ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors known as the Gotham Knights.”
Keegan will play Duela. “Described as abrasive, unpredictable and a little unhinged, Duela is, above all, a survivor. Born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father – the most dangerous man in Gotham – Duela forged herself into a brutal fighter and skilled thief.”
Robinson will play Carrie Kelley. “Fearless, idealistic and plucky as hell, Carrie talked her way into being Batman’s unlikely sidekick. If there’s a burning building or a person in need, she’s the first to rush in. Just as long as she’s home by curfew.”
Morgan will play Turner Hayes. “Despite the murder of his biological parents, Turner remains resilient and driven to live up to his billionaire adoptive father’s name. While charming and soulful, Turner has never quite felt comfortable in this world of wealth and privilege.”
Gotham Knights hails from Batwoman writers Natalie Abrams, James Stoteraux, and Chad Fiveash. Are you looking forward to this Gotham Knights series?
