Now gearing up for the show’s sophomore season, “Legends” cast are set to welcome two hot newcomers on the show, “Sons of Anarchy” star Winter Ava Zoli as Detective Gabriella Laska and “True Blood” alum Kelly Overton as Nina Brenner.

Best known for her role as Opie Winston’s (Ryan Hurst) porn star as Lyla Winston, Zoli’s new role was described as a “highly-driven career woman who conceals her Type-A nature behind a free-spirited persona.” “Legends” is the actress first TV role after she wrapped up her biker drama series role in December.

A talented actress, screenwriter, director and producer; Kelly Overton is best known for her in HBO’s vampire series “True Blood” as werewolf Rikki Naylor. Repped by Innovatibe and LINK, Overton’s Nina Brenner is a tough and “ambitious CIA Intelligence Officer who refuses to cave to pressure from her rival liaison in British Intelligence.
