“Extant,” this summer’s new sci-fi series produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Halle Berry, has just added actress Tessa Ferrer (pictured below) to the main cast. According to TV Guide, Ferrer will recur as Katie Sparks, an over-achieving astronaut and the daughter of Michael O’Neill’s Alan Sparks, who serves as the director of the ISEA.

Check out the first photo from the series, featuring Berry and Goran Visnjic, above. No, not exactly exciting, but I’m guessing this is a calm moment before the storm.
