Leigh, who recently appeared in multiple episodes of Showtime's Weeds, is best known for starring in 1982's The Fast Times at Ridgemont High as Stacy. She has Kill Your Darlings and The Moment in the pipeline.

Leigh joins previously cast Barry Sloane, who will play the mysterious Ethan, who has connections to Emily's past.

Revenge moves to its new Sunday time slot this fall.
