*Golden Brooks has nabbed a role opposite Amandla Stenberg in Fox’s dystopian thriller “Darkest Minds,” directed by “Kung Fu Panda 3” helmer Jennifer Yuh Nelson, reports Variety.

The adaptation of Alexandra Bracken’s YA trilogy sees a pandemic kill most of America’s children and teenagers. Those who survive develop superpowers and are imprisoned by the government.

Mandy Moore will play a doctor and a member of a crusade that wants to put a stop to the persecution of the children. Gwendoline Christie and Patrick Gibson are also starring. Bracken’s first book in the trilogy was published in 2012.

Brooks is best known for her eight-season run on the UPN series “Girlfriends.” She recently played a recurring character on Starz’s “Blunt Talk” opposite Patrick Stewart. Her other credits include “Hart of Dixie,” “The Great Divide,” “A Beautiful Soul,” “Beauty Shop,” and “Hell’s Kitchen.”
