Kandyse McClure enlists to fight in Syfy’s Ghost Wars

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

For more than fifty episodes, actress Kandyse McClure played Anastasia Dualla on the SciFi Channel's reboot of Battlestar Galactica. Several years after that show wrapped up, McClure has signed up to go into battle for SciFi (now known as Syfy) once again, this time taking a series regular role on the network's paranormal action series Ghost Wars.

Created by Simon Barry, Ghost Wars is set in an Alaskan town overrun by paranormal forces and will center on 

local outcast Roman Mercer (Jogia), who must overcome the town’s prejudices and his own personal demons if he’s to harness his repressed psychic powers and save everyone from the mass haunting that’s threatening to destroy them all.

McClure joins a cast that includes Vincent D'Onofrio, Kim Coates, Avan Jogia, Kristin Lehman, and Meatloaf. She will be playing a character named Landis Barker, "a scientist who is works at a facility in the town where strange occurrences start happening."

The date for when Ghost Wars will be making its debut on Syfy has not yet been announced, but we do know that the first season is set to run for thirteen episodes. The show will also be available for viewing through Netflix around the globe.

McClure may be best known for Battlestar Galactica, but I'm most familiar with her from three other remakes/reboots – she was in the 2002 TV movie version of CARRIE, the 2009 version of CHILDREN OF THE CORN (which was a SciFi premiere), and Darren Lynn Bousman's take on MOTHER'S DAY.
