Deadline is reporting that has Stacey Sergeant been added to the cast of Netflix’s Come Sunday, joining Chiwetel Ejiofor, Martin Sheen, Condola Rashad, Danny Glover and Keith Stanfield.
The film is based on a This American Life episode from 2005 chronicling the story of Carlton Pearson (Ejiofor), a renowned evangelical minister in Tulsa, Okla., who stirs up controversy with his revelation that there is no hell. He loses everything and must rebuild his church and his family and find his own personal faith.
Rashad will play Gina, the wife of Carlton (Ejiofor), while Glover will play Gilbert Pearson, who is Carlton’s uncle. Martin Sheen will play televangelist Oral Roberts. Stanfield will play the music director of a megachurch who is also the devoted right-hand man of Ejiofor’s minister.
Sargeant plays Nicky Brown, a working single mother, Carlton’s assistant, and one of the few members of the church to stick by him.
Endgame Entertainment’s James. D Stern is producing alongside This American Life‘s Ira Glass and Alissa Shipp. Sergeant has had guest stints on shows like Elementary and The Blacklist and was also seen in Chris Rock’s Top Five.
