Nollywood actress, Somkele Idhalama, has joined the cast of the American sci-fi TV series ‘Star Trek: Discovery’.
In a recent Instagram post, Idhalama revealed that she portrayed the role of ‘The Progenitor’ in the series.
The Delta-born actress said she was initially cast for a role in the series but turned it down after contracting COVID.
“Guess who and guess where? It is yours truly on the set of Star Trek as The Progenitor,” she wrote.
“Interesting fact: I auditioned for this show for a good minute. Finally got a cool role then I got COVID and had to pull out.
“Then I got another audition for ‘The Progenitor’ which ended up being the crowning moment of the episode, season and show finale. God has plans and those plans are solid! Keep believing.”
‘Star Trek: Discovery’ was created by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman for the streaming service Paramount+.
It is the seventh Star Trek series and was released from 2017 to 2024.
