Casting News: Manifest Reunion On The Hunting Party, Monster Alum Returns For Season 4, And More
Josh Dallas is booking a flight to reunite with his "Manifest" co-star Melissa Roxburgh.
Dallas will guest-star in an upcoming episode of Roxburgh's NBC drama "The Hunting Party," Variety reports. He'll play Elliot Carr, aka the Connecticut Cobbler, "a master craftsman and high-end shoemaker who specialized in extraordinary custom shoes made from only the rarest and most exotic of leathers — think alligator, rhino and people, skinning his victims alive," per the official description. "Fresh off his escape from the Pit, Elliot is on the loose and making a whole new set of kicks, this time with a twist."
Roxburgh stars as former FBI profiler Bex Henderson on "The Hunting Party," which returns for Season 2 this Thursday at 10/9c on NBC. Previously, Dallas and Roxburgh starred together as brother and sister Ben and Michaela Stone on the supernatural drama "Manifest," which ran for three seasons on NBC and then moved to Netflix for a fourth and final season.
