Gomez is best known for playing the female iteration of The Doctor's nemesis The Master and was dubbed Missy during her stint on the BBC hit.

She is currently starring in Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but is set to join Cuoco as a rival femme fatale.

The upcoming plotline sees Gomez take on the role of Miranda, an entrpeneur who crosses paths with Kaley’s character Cassie during a trip to Thai capital Bangkok.

Miranda is desribed as a "hardened, savvy businesswoman with anger management issues," so no doubt her debut will be an explosive one.

Gomez is taking the reigns from Sonoya Mizuno, who was originally cast in the role.
