Sense8 and The Exorcist alum Alfonso Herrera has been tapped to recur on Season 3 of USA Network's Queen of the South per The Hollywood Reporter. The drama returns June 21.
Herrera will play Javier Gallegos, a mercenary willing to kill for the highest bidder. His brash, untamed nature puts him at odds with his new boss: Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga).
"Alfonso is coming onboard in the role of Javier, the cousin of Boaz Jimenez," executive producer and showrunner Natalie Chaidez tells THR. "He's been a soldier in the Jimenez organization for many years. He's a bit of a playboy. In contrast to James (Peter Gadiot), he's a big character that's larger than life. He loves the ladies, he loves to party and he rides a motorcycle. He's being introduced during the back half of the season when Javier joins the fold when Teresa and Boaz come to an unexpected alliance."
