Ella Rumpf, the star of the acclaimed Franco-Belgian horror Raw, has joined the cast of Succession for its eagerly-awaited third season.
US entertainment trade daily Variety, which first reported the news, says that no details have been released on Rumpf's character in the HBO drama.
Sources told Variety that the Swiss star recently completed filming her Succession role in Italy.
Rumpf joins Oscar winner Adrien Brody and True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård as a new Succession casting.

Teeing up the season three intrigue, Variety says it will "pick up with Logan Roy (Brian Cox) in a perilous position after an ambush by his rebellious, if somewhat spineless son Kendall (Jeremy Strong)".
"Roy senior and junior scramble to secure familial, political and financial alliances as a corporate battle threatens to turn into a family civil war," Variety adds.
Season three is due to premiere in the autumn.
