The Hollywood Reporter has shared the news that Farscape/Stargate alum Claudia Black will be playing the powerful witch Dahlia, sister of Esther, aunt to Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah. As we know from the show so far, Dahlia was a powerful witch (previously played by Kristin Erickson) who used her magic and helped Esther get pregnant when she desired a family but in return stole away Freya, the eldest Mikaelson. She also vowed to take the first born of every generation – which now puts Hope squarely in her sights. Better hope that new werewolf army with hybrid powers is enough to protect the baby when Aunt Dahlia comes calling.

According to THR, Dahlia will make her first appearance in episode 16 of the second season, which is due to air on March 16th.

I don’t think I’ve ever been happier with a piece of casting news, been a big fan of Claudia’s for a very long time and I cannot wait to see what she brings to the show.

The Originals is on hiatus right now but will return with a new episode on March 9th at 8/7c on The CW.
