Another moves into “Hemlock Grove” for Eli Roth: Kandyse McClure

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Lookit that! Not a few hours after telling you Lili Taylor had taken up residence in the Eli Roth-produced Netflix series “Hemlock Grove”, we’re here to add another name to the population.

Kandyse McClure has been cast in “Grove” as Dr. Chausser, an animal behaviorist with a PHD with a history of self destruction. McClure has been a fixture in the horror and sci-fi genres for a few years now; she was a regular on Syfy’s “Battlestar Galactica,” and has also appeared in CARRIE (the TV remake), MOTHER’S DAY and CHILDREN OF THE CORN. Hey, the girl loves remakes!

“Hemlock Grove” starts with the body of a young girl, mangled and murdered in the shadow of the former Godfrey steel mill. Some suspect an escapee from the White Tower, a biotech facility owned by the former steel magnates. Others believe the killer could be Peter, a 17-year-old Gypsy kid from the wrong side of the tracks, who tells his classmates he’s a werewolf. Or it could be Roman, the arrogant Godfrey scion, whose sister Shelley is disturbingly deformed and whose mother, Olivia, the otherworldly beautiful and controlling grand dame of Hemlock Grove.

As the crime goes unsolved and outlandish rumors mount, Peter and Roman decide to find the killer themselves, confronting unspeakable truths about themselves and Hemlock Grove as the mystery unfolds.

McClure and Taylor join Famke Janssen, Dougray Scott, Landon Liboiron, Bill Skarsgard, Freya Tingley and Penelope Mitchell.
