BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Alum Tricia Helfer Joins Season 2 Of LUCIFER As The Mother Of The Devil
Tricia Helfer will be etched in the minds of BSG fans forever as seductive Cylon Number 6, and now she's set to take things to a whole new level of evil as the mother of Tom Ellis' Lucifer. Check it out...
TV Line reports that Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Powers, Suits) has joined the cast of the second season of FOX's Lucifer as the mother of the titular Devil and his brother Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), Charlotte. Season 1 of the supernatural drama dealt with a son coming to terms with some serious daddy issues, and according to showrunner Joe Henderson, "season 2 is Mom."
Here's the official character description for the (literal) mother from Hell:
"Trapped in Hell for thousands of years by God (her ex-husband), the Mother of Angels is now free on Earth. Once reunited with Lucifer, it will become clear that she’s the one he takes after. Mom is fearless and has a strong conviction for who she is and what she deserves. However, mother and son do not share the same opinion when it comes to humanity. Everything that fascinates Lucifer about people repels Mom — a disdain that’s highlighted by that fact that Mom’s trapped in a human body for her stay on Earth. Lucifer’s desperate to find out what Mom’s up to, but she claims that all she wants is to spend time with her sons again. But can the devil’s mom really be that innocent?"
Lucifer returns to FOX on Monday, September 19, 2016.
