American audiences most likely recognize Herbers from Westworld, as she plays Emily Grace, The Man in Black's daughter, in the last two seasons of the HBO series. Emily first appeared as a carefree guest at Park 6, fought a friggin' robot tiger, and then got caught up in her father's obsessive quest ... which ultimately led to her death at his hands. In season 3, Herbers returned as a vision of Emily that haunted her father, much like the demons on Evil haunt Kristen.
There may actually have been a Westworld Easter Egg in Herbers' new show. In the pilot episode of Evil, Kristen reads a passage from William Goldman's The Princess Bride that features a character called "The Man in Black" to her daughters before bed. Fans of the book or (more likely) the film adaptation know that the Man in Black is the romantic hero, not the villain like Westworld's William. Still, could it have been a subtle nod to the HBO sci-fi series?
