Lucifer Adds Michael Imperioli as Angel Uriel for Season 2
Fox’s Lucifer has cast The Sopranos star Michael Imperioli as the angel Uriel for Season 2, executive producer Ildy Modrovich announced during the show’s panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Monday. Modrovich revealed that the brother of Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) will be “coming down in the middle of the season,” which will also see the arrival of the angels’ mother, “Charlotte,” played by Tricia Helfer.
“Mom is the driving force of the season; God was the focus of Season 1, the theme was distant fathers,” fellow exec producer Joe Henderson said. “Lucifer is someone who has yearned for his father’s love, here’s his mother in the flesh, who he clearly has a bad relationship with… she’s the stick of dynamite that we’ve placed in Season 2, and we’re waiting for it to explode.”
“Mum hasn’t always looked like this, so you can imagine how uncomfortable that makes her two sons,” Ellis joked of Helfer’s role. “It’s given myself and D.B. a chance to have a new relationship within the show. You act a little bit differently around your mum than you do when she’s not around.”
