Amara Karan has signed up for AMC’s latest space series, Moonhaven, according to a report at Variety.

Emma McDonald, Dominic Monaghan, Kadeem Hardison and Ayelet Zurer are already on board. Set 100 years in the future, the thriller follows Bella Sway (McDonald), a lunar cargo pilot and smuggler who finds herself accused of a crime and marooned on the utopian community, set on a 500-square-mile Garden of Eden built on the Moon. Bella is sucked into a conspiracy to gain control of the artificial intelligence responsible for Moonhaven’s miracles, and teams with a local detective to stop the forces that want to destroy Earth’s last hope before they are destroyed themselves.

Karan will play Indira Mare, “Envoy of IO,” the vast and ever-present AI that keeps Moonhaven alive. Brilliant, compassionate and driven, she has committed her life to ensuring the technology and culture of the moon will be brought back to save the Earth.
