British actress Emma Rigby (Hollyoaks) has joined ABC’s Once Upon A Time spinoff, which is now titled Once Upon A Time In Wonderland.
Rigby will play the Red Queen, a character based on the chess piece that originated in the novel Through The Looking Glass by Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll. In the book, the Red Queen aka Iracebeth, has a short temper and is merciless against her enemies and those who have betrayed her. The character was portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter in the 2010 Tim Burton movie.
The four-scene Once Upon A Time In Wonderland presentation is slated to begin filming April 7 in Vancouver, immediately following the wrap of Once‘s Season 2 there.
Rigby, repped by WME, UK’s Independent Talent Group and Alan Siegel Entertainment, recently shot an arc on the British series Ripper Street and also starred in the BBC Drama Prisoners’ Wives. She just wrapped shooting The Physician and recently shot the indie Plastic.
