THE DOVEKEEPERS EPIC SERIES

CASTS RACHEL BROSNAHAN
Staying in the historical genre, Rachel Brosnahan will play the lead role in CBS historical series THE DOVEKEEPERS! Based on Alice Hoffman’s novel about four extraordinary women whose lives intersect in a fight for survival at the siege of Masada, the series will see Brosnahan playing the lead of the four central characters, Yael, a uniquely beautiful and fearless young woman whose mother died in childbirth and whose father forever blames her for that loss. During the dangerous journey they make together through the desert, Yael has a whirlwind romance that will haunt her life even after they arrive at Masada. Yet, Yael is able to find comfort from her supportive warrior brother, Amram (Diego Boneta), and kinship from her fellow dovekeeper, Shirah (Cote de Pablo), as the two women fight for survival in a crumbling world.
