Jason Momoa’s series “Chief of War” casts Luciane Buchanan

Los Angeles| Jason Momoa’s upcoming historical epic limited series “Chief of War” at Apple has cast Luciane Buchanan, according to the reports.

Buchanan will now star in the nine-episode series opposite Momoa and Temuera Morrison. It was first reported as being in the works at Apple back in April. Per the official logline, the series “follows the epic and unprecedented telling of the unification and colonization of Hawaii from an indigenous point of view.”

Buchanan will play Ka’ahumanu, described as “intelligent and progressive in thought. Ka’ahumanu is curious about the larger world beyond her home islands.”

Buchanan was born in New Zealand and is of Tongan descent. She is not entirely new to Apple audiences, as she previously appeared in the series “Mr. Corman” opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt. She is known for her roles in shows like “The New Legends of Monkey,” “Filthy Rich,” “The Blue Rose,” and the Netflix series “Sweet Tooth.”

She is repped by Gail Cowan Management and Entertainment 360.
