For Berry, known not only for her groundbreaking roles in film but also for her Emmy-winning performance in “Introducing Dorothy Dandridge,” this marks a return to regular television after her stint in CBS’s “Extant.” Her extensive career spans notable films such as the “X-Men” franchise and “John Wick: Chapter 3,” showcasing her versatility and acclaim in both action-packed and dramatic roles.
