"Battlestar Galactica" fans rejoice: Dualla and Chief will soon reunite on the small screen. Kandyse McClure and Aaron Douglas have both been tapped to star in Eli Roth's spooky new TV series "Hemlock Grove," set to premiere in 2013 on Netflix.

The show revolves around the brutal murder of a 17-year-old girl in a creepy small town. The murder's two prime suspects, played by young up-and-comers Bill Skarsgard (yes, Alexander's little bro) and Landon Liboiron, decide to team up to find the real killer. Famke Janssen plays Skarsgard's mom, Douglas is the Sheriff and McClure is Dr. Clementine Chausser, an animal expert brought in to help with the case. (In case the murderer was actually an animal ... or a werewolf!)

McClure called us from her Jamaican vacation to give us the lowdown on the hot young hunks of "Hemlock," being star-struck by Janssen and what it's like working with Douglas again.



What's it like working with Aaron Douglas again?

It's awesome. It was kind of weird for the first couple of days, because we don't talk to each other except when we're out eating dinner, socializing! He'll throw different things at me each take. He teases me, and we make "that's what she said" jokes.


Have you two been spotted by any "Battlestar Galactica" fans who wonder what you're doing together?

Yes. We can get away with [not being recognized] when we're on our own, but when we're together we might as well have a neon sign! [Laughs] Sometimes it blows people's minds, I guess, because it's so random.


What types of things do people say to you?

"Omigod, Chief!" People are flabbergasted or taken aback. We love going to conventions, and Aaron especially enjoys talking to fans. He spends a lot more time with fans drinking in the bar with fans after the panels are done than I do. People are generally complimentary or share an experience that "Battlestar" helped them through or gave them perspective about.
