Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, right? There’s something brilliant about casting Jenna Coleman in the upcoming revenge thriller series “Wilderness.” Petite, much much younger than she looks (37!, but going on 19), and known for “Doctor Who,” “Queen Victoria,” and “Victoria,” she seems something of an innocent nice girl.
