seemingly the time - bending antics of Syfy ’s first-class 12 Monkeys TV series do n’t just occur in front of the photographic camera . Madeleine Stowe , hotshot of Terry Gilliam ’s original 1995 movie of the same name , will be join the telecasting adaptation for season 2 , debuting on April 18 .
Stowe will not be reprising her role as Dr. Kathryn Railly , as the show already has one wreak by Amanda Schull . ( And because the show ’s raison d’etre is telling a story absurdly full of time travel which still manages to keep the tale straight ; contribute an “ Earth-2″ interlingual rendition of 12 Monkeys would just be a mess.)Entertainment Weeklyreports Stowe will instead trifle Lillian , a patient in a genial infirmary in the late 1950s .
Here ’s showrunner Terry Matalas explaining how Lillian intersects with fourth dimension - traveling booster Cole :
“ When Cole meet her , he ’s in a very dissimilar place in his living than we ’ve ever seen him . She ’s going to deliver some very regretful intelligence , but she ’s also hold out to give him some sage advice that our fourth dimension traveler will urgently need . She ’s like 12 rascal ’ Obi - Wan Kenobi , but far more insidious . ”
It ’s a delightful bit of meta cast that fits correctly in with 12 Monkeys ’ sturdy power to take the piece and beats of Terry Gilliam ’s original motion-picture show , but then lucubrate them , pluck them and utilize them to distinguish a very dissimilar , very complex novel story . We literally told you two weeks ago thatit was one of the best show on TV that are criminally underwatched . Suffice it to say this clever addition to the cast has n’t alter our minds a bit .
