Judge Dredd: Mega-City One - 10 Things We Want To See

8. Olivia Thirlby Back As Judge Anderson

Dredd Reboot
Rebellion

Mega-City One needs a Cassandra Anderson almost as much as it needs Dredd. She is the series' emotional core, the human counterbalance to the stone-cold protagonist, and in Olivia Thirlby, the show already has a great version to call on.

If Karl Urban is reprising his role from the movie, so too should Thirlby, who shone as the rookie Psi-Judge on the big screen. The film saw her character earn her stripes in that grimy tower block, setting the scene for further adventures.

Judge Anderson has a rich history in the 2000 AD comic books and has proven capable of serving as a leading lady, something the TV series could explore by having her head up her own narratives independent of her mentor.

Dredd may be the hardened hero Mega-City One needs, but Anderson is the Judge the show needs to supply its heart and humanity, and bring balance to the equation.
