Katee Sackhoff will be joined by two of her former Battlestar Galactica co-stars in Season 2 of Netflix's Another Life. 

Rekha Sharma and Kate Vernon have been cast in the second season of the Netflix sci-fi drama, reuniting with their former cast member, as reported by EW. These two new characters will have close, familial ties to the crew of the Salvare.

Vernon will portray Ava, the mother of Sackhoff's Niko Breckinridge, who will appear in the series both in space and on Earth. Niko will encounter a version of her mother, simulated as an avatar by the Achaians when Niko boards their ship. Meanwhile, her husband Erik Wallace, played by Justin Chatwin, must meet the very real -- and very worried -- Ava on Earth. Sharma will appear as a character named Ursula Monroe, the mother of sentient A.I., who built the software behind William (Samuel Anderson), the holographic interface of sentient A.I. onboard the Salvare.

"Battlestar Galactica was such a huge part of my life and career. I am so blessed to have built lifelong friendships with the cast and thankfully when I call and ask favors they oblige," Sackhoff said. "We are so lucky to have Kate and Rekha join this show. They elevate every scene they are in and I can't wait for the fans to see these two in action."

Along with Vernon and Sharma, several new cast members were added to the Netflix series in June 2020. Season 2 of Another Life will also introduce actors Dillon Casey, Shannon Chan-Kent, Kurt Yaeger, and Carlena Britch to the cast. Casey will portray Seth Gage, the head of Homeland Security with a mission to take over the alien response now that First Contact has been made; Chan-Kent plays Iara, a hybrid alien-human A.I. who acts as a bridge between humans and aliens; Yaeger plays Dillon Conner, a trained military engineer with experience on Earth due to his numerous tours of duty to the planet; and Britch will portray a character named Paula Carbone.

Created by Aaron Martin, Another Life premiered on Netflix with a 10-episode first season in 2019. The series focuses on astronaut Niko Breckinridge and her crew as they take part in a high-risk mission to investigate an alien artifact and find extraterrestrial intelligence.

Season 1 of Another Life is now available on Netflix, with Season 2 set to premiere on Oct. 14.
