Condola Rashad, coming off her starring turn opposite Orlando Bloom in “Romeo and Juliet” on Broadway, has been tapped to co-star in Fox’s 13-episode series “Hieroglyph”.
Produced by 20th Century Fox TV and Chernin Entertainment, “Hieroglyph”, which is eyed for next season, is set in ancient Egypt, where fantasy and reality intertwined. It follows a notorious thief who is plucked from prison to serve the Pharoah (Reece Ritchie), navigating palace intrigue, seductive concubines, criminal underbellies and even a few divine sorcerers.
Rashad will play Nefertari, the Pharaoh’s half-sister with a rare beauty that intimidates even the strongest of suitors… and she knows it. Executive producing are creator Travis Beacham, Peter Chernin, Katherine Pope and Miguel Sapochnik, who will direct the premiere episode.
Rashad is one of the hottest young Broadway actresses with back-to-back Tony nominations for “Stick Fly” in 2012 and “The Trip to Bountiful” in 2013. She just completed a successful run playing Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet”. On TV, she starred in Lifetime’s highly rated “Steel Magnolias” remake and recurred on NBC’s “Smash”.

Black people are always and will be the true desendents. Of Ancient Egypt. Hollywood can't keep covering up the truth please believe they know.
Ok..but what about pharoah..its a white guy and I could almost bet if there is anybody else black in it they're going to be in a subordinate position
You're an unresearched sad ass racist bitch black american. For your biggoted information, Reece Ritchie is South African… his dad is from Durban and he is BLACK. Stop hatin' asshole.
I Hate Ebay he can be from South Africa but the movie is based in ancient times not today. trust me no one from South Africa looked like Richie back 6000BC. I wish they would just get history corrected and stop trying to please old racism.
