Ex-BSG Actress to play Mother of Angels
Yes Battlestar Galactica actress Tricia Helfer has signed on for season 2 of Lucifer to play the mother of the devil himself.
According to the show’s exec producer Joe Henderson, while season 1 “was the story of a wayward son dealing with his father issues, Season 2 is Mom.”
Devil in a Red Dress
The official character description for the Mother of Angels (or Charlotte) is as follows;
“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?”
The arrival of mom was teased at the end of season 1 and it sounds like Lucifer has got trouble on the horizon in season 2 with Charlotte’s arrival.
