- Meta Golding has been cast as a series regular opposite Patrick Dempsey in Season 2 of Fox's Memory of a Killer on a one-year deal, in an exclusive announced by Deadline.
- Golding plays Mel, Angelo's childhood sweetheart turned Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist who is described as 'sharp, funny, direct, and constitutionally incapable of looking away from the truth.'
- Mel becomes Angelo's love interest of the season and works alongside him to avenge a tragic loss; the source bills her as the season's 'moral engine and emotional heartbeat.'
- Michael Imperioli also stars in the series, which is inspired by the book and 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer and produced by Warner Bros Television and Fox Entertainment.
- Executive producers include Dempsey alongside showrunners Aaron Zelman and Glenn Kessler, Arthur Sarkissian, Martin Campbell, and Peter Bouckaert of Eyeworks.
- Golding's recent credits include HBO Max's The Pitt, Netflix's Ransom Canyon, Paramount+'s Rabbit Hole, and the Hunger Games films; she is repped by Charlton Blackburne Management, Paradigm, and Yorn, Levine, Barnes, Krintzman.
- Memory of a Killer Season 2 is set to premiere midseason 2027 on Fox.
Why it matters: Golding's casting as a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist adds an investigative backbone to Season 2's thriller framework, anchoring Fox's midseason 2027 return with a new series regular whose character drives both the central romance and the season's mission to avenge a tragic loss — giving Dempsey's memory-loss hitman a built-in partner to play off.
