Here are the new casting announcements:

British actress Rosie Day (the mini-series Homefront) will play Mary Hawkins, the daughter of a minor baronet and the niece of Silas Hawkins. Mary is engaged to a member of the French nobility (who struggles with a nervous stammer) and finds herself being used as a pawn in the power plays of her elders.
