Tricia Helfer moves to the “Warehouse”

We knew when we saw Jane Espenson‘s name attached to the new Sci-Fi SyFy network series Warehouse 13 that a lot of alums from her previous series would doubtless make appearances.

Sure enough, we’ve just learned that AfterEllen.com favorite Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica will guest star as FBI agent Bonnie Belski.

Warehouse 13, which premiers July 7 with a two-hour pilot, follows Secret Service agents Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly) who are transferred to South Dakota, where a huge top-secret storage facility holds every unexplained object in the U.S. government’s possession.

Pete and Myka are assigned to investigate paranormal activity and collect new treasures for the warehouse. Saul Rubinek plays Artie, the warehouse’s caretaker.

Other BSG alums already are on-deck for Warehouse 13, including Michael Hogan and Mark Sheppard. We’ll keep you posted as the series premier gets closer.
