Elizabeth Tan has now been cast in the new BBC Series - "Spirit Warriors".

The BBC are to make a new fantasy drama series, Spirit Warriors, which will be set in a mythical fantasy realm and will draw inspiration from ancient Chinese myths and legends. Elizabeth Tan will play the part of Ching, a mysterious lady of inauspicious intentions and unique power.

Anne Gilchrist, a BBC Controller, says "Inspired by Yimou Zhang's House Of Flying Daggers and Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon we wanted to bring our CBBC audience the visual spectacle and exciting adventure of an ambitious drama set in Ancient China. Viewers will be drawn into a fantastical world."

Filming for the series will begin in April 2009.
