Alex Meraz Cast in the Lead for WGN America's Drama Pilot 'Scalped'
Alex Meraz (Suicide Squad) will play one of the leads in WGN America's upcoming drama pilot Scalped, adapted from the Vertigo comic book series written by Jason Aaron with art by R.M. Guera. Doug Jung writes the script for the project, which will feature a predominately Native American cast.
The series is described as a modern-day crime story set in the world of a Native American reservation. It explores power, loyalty and spirituality in a community led by Chief Lincoln Red Crow. Dashiell Bad Horse (Meraz) returns home after years away from the reservation, having been exiled by his mother at the age of 13 and returns 15 years later as a criminal with a mysterious agenda.
Having featured in Suicide Squad, Meraz reunites with director David Ayer and Will Smith for Netflix original film Bright.
