The Devil's Mother Has been Cast for 'Lucifer' Season 2
After the reveal to conclude its opening season, Lucifer, with star Tom Ellis in the lead role, will be adding the devil's mother for the new season, to be played by Battlestar Galactica and Suits actress Tricia Helfer.
Via TV Line, her swift and sudden appearance will set the tone for the new season, as Lucifer becomes suspicious of her arrival on the scene. Showrunner Joe Henderson expressed his excitement on carving their own path from the Lucifer mythology.
“In the comics and common mythology, it’s really not something that’s been established, so this is us doing a little world building,” said Henderson. “This is us taking a step and exploring the answer to a question a lot of people never asked and staking our own claim. There are a lot of directions we can go and we’ve chosen one that we’re really excited about.”
Premiering on Fox on September 19, Helfer will play as series regular. Here is the character's official description:
“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?”
