Taraji P Henson is still killing it! She landed the female lead in J.J. Abrams’ new CBS drama, Person of Interest.

Henson, most recently seen in Tyler Perry movies I Can Do Bad All by Myself and The Family That Preys (and an Oscar nominee for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), has been cast as a female detective named Carter on the series, joining the previously confirmed Michael Emerson on the show. Person of Interest tells the story of an ex-CIA agent who is recruited by a crazy billionaire to help fight crime in New York City.
