Once the Game Of Thrones phenomenon ends in the next six weeks, the channel already has a massive line-up for the viewers to look forward to. One of that is Perry Mason which is one of the most awaited limited series indeed.

The show is a remake of the classic Perry Mason and has roped in actor Matthew Rhys of The Americans fame to play the male lead. And now joining the cast is none other than Tatania Maslany.

The actress, who is best known for her role in Orphan Black has been roped in to play an important role in the limited series. According to reports, The series is set in 1932 Los Angeles, a boomtown despite the Great Depression, with oil, the Olympics, talking pictures and evangelical fervor all animating the city " along with a child kidnapping gone very, very wrong. The series will tell an origin story for Mason (Rhys), who when the story begins is not a lawyer but a down-on-his-luck private investigator.

When the case of the decade breaks down his door, Mason's relentless pursuit of the truth reveals a fractured city and, possibly, a path to redemption for himself.

Maslany will play Sister Alice, the leader of the Radiant Assembly of God. Preaching three sermons a day to a hungry congregation and a radio audience that spans the country, she's an entertainer, politician and God's conduit to the City of Angels. Sister Alice wields great power when she speaks and plans to use it in ways only she can know.

Need another reason to look forward to the show? It is executive produced by Robert Downey Jr. There you go.
