Karen Obilom (Games People Play) will appear in a recurring role for the second season of DC Universe/HBO Max series, Doom Patrol. She portrays Roni Evers, a character who is described as a “military veteran with a mysterious past” -- one that may have deeper connections to certain members of the team. Evers will meet Joivan Wade’s character Vic Stone/Cyborg while both are in attendance for a PTSD support group.
Written by Jeremy Carver, Doom Patrol is based on the DC comic book characters originally created by Arnold Drake, Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani. It tells the story of an unlikely group of scarred and disfigured heroes who are brought together by The Chief. Together, they discover a renewed purpose through their heroic efforts.
Doom Patrol is a spinoff of the show Titans. It is currently filming its second season, which will air on both DC Universe and HBO Max. There are few details about the Season 2 launch date at the time of writing. It is expected that Season 1 will be available concurrently on HBO Max once Season 2 premieres in 2020.
Streaming now on DC Universe, Doom Patrol stars Brendan Fraser as Cliff Steele, Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor, Diana Guerrero as Crazy Jane, Alan Tudyk as Mr. Nobody, April Bowlby as Rita Farr, Joivan Wade as Vic Stone and Timothy Dalton as Niles Caulder.
