The originalsformer student Nishi Munshi has signed on for a recurring role on Fox's Deadly weapon. Mushi will play ambitious new Assistant District Attorney Erica Malick, who begins working in the robbery and homicide field, building cases against high-profile criminals.

Munshi, who played Gia on CW The originals, starred in CBS comedy pilots Pandas in New York And Brother, as well as the single-camera indie comedy Half-way opposite Matthew Lillard/Blythe Danner, premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Munshi is represented by Abrams Artists Agency and Marque Entertainment and attorney Kevin Marks.

Written by Jessica O'Toole and Amy Rardin and created with Urman, the Charm The reboot centers on three sisters (Melonie Diaz, Madeleine Mantock, Sarah Jeffery) in a college town who discover they are witches. Between defeating supernatural demons, tearing down the patriarchy, and maintaining family bonds, a witch's work is never done. Shannon will play Jada Shields. Independent and fierce, Jada Shields knows what she wants and how to get it. She is openly gay and catches Mel's attention after flirting with her at a bar. Despite her frankness, Jada remains a mystery that Mel is determined to solve. Shannon is repped by Innovative Artists and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
