Fans of The Purge franchise will soon be enjoying a weekly dose of purging courtesy of Syfy’s The Purge. The ten-part series has added former Walking Dead actor Sabrina Gennarino, who played Tamiel, to its roster. Gennarino will play a character named Madelyn, and she seems quite excited by the prospect as she revealed to The Hollywood Reporter.

“I feel incredibly grateful to be a part of this television series,” says Gennarino. “The films of The Purge franchise are a tremendous success, and it is an honour now to be a part of the series with such an amazing and talented cast and crew.“

The Purge’s Executive Producer James DeMonaco recently explained the premise of the television version of the hit movies. “We follow four what-seem-to-be separate storylines of people going out on the evening and experiencing the Purge. The real estate of the 10 hours of the TV allows us to use flashback, where we flashback out of the Purge world, into the regular lives, the non-Purge days, of this future America.”

DeMonaco concluded, “We get to see who these people are when it’s not Purge Night and the events that led them to where they are on the particular Purge Night that we are following. I think it’s a great device.“
