Actress Q’orianka Kilcher will be returning to season five of the Paramount+ show, resuming her role as Angela Blue Thunder, according to Deadline.

Viewers haven’t seen Kilcher since season three.

The statement reveals that while filming “Dora and the Lost City of Gold,” alongside actors Eva Longoria and Michael Pe?a, “Kilcher allegedly injured her neck and right shoulder. She saw a doctor a few times that year, but stopped treatment and did not respond to the insurance company handling her claim on behalf of her employer. A year later, in October 2019, Kilcher contacted the insurance company saying she needed treatment. Kilcher told the doctor handling her claim that she had been offered work since her injury occurred but had been unable to accept it because her neck pain was too severe. Based on Kilcher’s statements to the doctor, she began receiving temporary total disability benefits.”

However, while accepting wages, the actress was allegedly working on “Yellowstone” from July 2019 to October 2019.
