It comes after the hit HBO show’s director, Mike White, made an announcement last week that five new cast members were joining the show including O’Reilly, Milos Bikovic, Christian Friedel, Lek Patravadi and Shalini Peiris.
Big names previously announced include: Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey, and Carrie Coon.
Rising star O’Reilly is a Kiwi to watch in the coming years with her career accolades including being a cast member of popular Australian soap Neighbours, as well as starring in Housebound, Wentworth season seven, and Emmy-winning show Mean Mums.
It’s a big week for the show as season two star Jennifer Coolidge won an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress, before being awkwardly asked to leave the stage.
As the actress took the stage to share her acceptance speech, she began a long list of thanking those who helped her along the way.
This included the show’s creator White and co-stars in the show.
The Emmys took a unique spin this year with its host Anthony Anderson bringing his serious-faced mother in to hold up a sign acknowledging award winners to wrap up their speeches when they go on for too long.
