Ever Carradine and Valerie Cruz are both heading to cable.  Carradine has signed on to play a recurring role on the SciFi Channel’s Eureka, while Cruz is all set for Showtime's dark thriller series Dexter.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Carradine is set to play Lexi, the free-spirited sister of Sheriff Carter (Colin Ferguson) on Eureka, which returns with new episodes on July 29.  She will be appearing in at least eight episodes of the upcoming season.

Most recently seen on ABC’s Women’s Murder Club, Carradine landed her first recurring guest role in 1998 on the series Party of Five where she played the role of Rosalie.  Subsequently, she was cast as Pepper on Veronica’s Closet, the sitcom that starred Kirstie Alley.  After a year of guest appearances, she landed yet another recurring role on Once and Again as Tiffany Porter, before earning more substantial exposure on Commander in Chief as Kelly Ludlow.

Cruz, on the other hand, is credited for Hidden Palms and The Dresden Files,as well as the upcoming feature La Linea.  On Dexter, she will be playing the wife of Assistant District Attorney Miguel, a high-powered, charismatic district attorney who comes from one of the most powerful families in the Miami area.  This high-profile role was recently filled by Cane’s Jimmy Smits.

As reported previously, fans can look forward to at least six new faces in the upcoming season of Dexter.  There’s Joey Quinn, a likable cop who recently joined the police department, the up-and-coming ADA Miguel and his brother Ruben, who will also join the force, Miguel’s wife, a young Internal Affairs agent named Yuki Amado and a sexy, strong African-American musician named Anton, who will be quite visible throughout the season.  So far, two out of the six have already been cast.

Stay tuned for more updates.
