Movie veteran Louis Gossett Jr is to play Halle Berry's dad in Steven Spielberg's much-anticipated TV drama Extant.
Berry will portray an astronaut trying to reconnect with her family after a year in space in the TV series, and Gossett Jr will play her estranged father, a retired doctor.
Goran Visnjic, Grace Gummer and Camryn Manheim have also signed on to star in Extant, which will premiere in America in July.
