Newcomer Pepi Sonuga has been cast as Ursula in the CW drama pilot “Cheerleader Death Squad,” an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
The story follows a disgraced CIA agent-turned-teacher at an elite Washington, D.C. prep school who trains a select few well-connected students to be his eyes and ears in the world of international espionage, and to help him earn his way back into the agency.
Sonuga will play Ursula, described as sexy and vain, and a strong, agile cheerleader recruited for the mission who knows what she wants and gets it. Her confidence is intimidating, and she uses it to her advantage.
