Rounding out the series regular cast are Oliver Dench, Raechelle Banno, John Harlan Kim, Ben Radcliffe, Martin Bobb-Semple and Noah Huntley.

Production is underway in Bulgaria. A premiere date has not yet been set, reports Deadline.com.

An excited Sandhu tweeted: "So thrilled to announce my next project with The CW."

Sandhu's October co-star Varun Dhawan tweeted on Thursday morning: "So proud of you Bani. Does this mean I have to get in touch with your agent now to see you?"

Set in the year 2199, Pandora centres on Jax, played by Quintana, a resourceful young woman who has lost everything after the death of her parents but finds a new life at Earth's Space Training Academy where she and her friends learn to defend the Galaxy from threats, both alien and human.

When secrets about the nature of her own identity begin to surface, she must uncover the truth, and whether she will be humanity's saviour or the instrument of its destruction.

Banita Sandhu will play Delaney Pilar, Jax's roommate.
