'Grimm' Cast News, Update: 'Orange is the New Black' Star Joins Season 5 As A Wesen
New casting report for the 5th season of the hit supernatural drama TV series "Grimm" says that a star from Netflix's wildly-popular jailbird drama, "Orange is the New Black" is joining the NBC show as a lizard-like Wesen.
The report from TV Line said that actress Madeline Brewer has been cast in Season 5 to take on the role of Billie Trump. The Skalengeck is further described in the publication as a "fierce lieutenant in an up-and-coming Wesen street gang who is raising hell in Portland."
Fans are warned that Billie and Co. are "indicative of really terrible things to come" in the new season.

Brewer, who plays Tricia in the first season of OINTB, will be the latest Litchfield inmate to join the David Giuntoli-starred series. Last season, Elizabeth Rodriguez appeared as Special FBI agent Chavez. Earlier reports said that Rodriguez will be reprising the role in Season 5.
For those who missed, Giuntoli told TV Line at the San Diego Comic-Con International that Season 5 will be laden with "a lot of revenge" from his character. Fans will also find him getting too pre-occupied with his and Adalind's (Claire Coffee) baby.
"He lost his girlfriend, he lost his mom … and the baby is kind of the reason for him to keep going," the actor teased (via TV Line).
For Adalind, the youngling will also give meaning to her life.
"This baby is all she's got in the world," Coffee said to the website. "She's lost her powers, again, but I think this time the focus will be the baby and finding a job. She's a lawyer — I assume a very capable lawyer. She'll scour Craigslist for a few episodes."
Bree Turner meanwhile spilled the beans that Rosalee's past will cause some "major problems" for her and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell).
Despite her efforts to deal with her murky past, Turner thinks that Rosalee's addictions "are about to come back into the story" which will definitely affect her, her relationship with Monroe, and with the people around her.
"Grimm" Season 5 premieres October 30 at 9/8c on NBC.
