Thor alum Jaimie Alexander — who had multiple pilot offers this season — has been tapped to star in NBC thriller Blindspot, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The drama centers on Jane Doe (Alexander), a beautiful woman with no memories of her past, who finds herself at the center of an investigation after climbing out of a duffel bag in the middle of New York City’s Times Square with her memory wiped and no clue as to what the extensive tattoos on her body mean.
