EW's Michael Ausiello is reporting that British actress Indira Varma (Rome, Luther) has been cast as a regular on the second season of Fox's Human Target. She will play Ilsa, a "sophisticated, driven and principled" widow with a vast fortune she uses for philanthropy. Her character will come into conflict with Chance (Mark Valley), who has a very different philosophy when it comes to helping the world.

How do you feel about this news? Personally, I think it's great. Human Target really needed some estrogen in its cast, and Varma's an interesting choice to join the existing lineup. I just hope this doesn't mean we've seen the last of Emmanuelle Vaugier's recurring character from season 1...
