Tricia Helfer To Play Lucifer’s Mom on Fox Series
by Nellie Andreeva
June 21, 2016

One of the biggest casting questions for Season 2 of Fox’s comic book drama "Lucifer" has been answered in a way that would delight genre fans. "Battlestar Galactica" alumna Tricia Helfer has been cast as the devil’s Mom, teased in the Season 1 finale, and she is a handful.

Helfer will recur on Season 2 as Charlotte in what is expected to the season’s central plotline. 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" Ups Tricia Helfer to Regular as the Mother From Hell — First Photo

Tricia Helfer apparently made a mother of a first impression on "Lucifer" producers: Just weeks after she was first cast as the mother of Tom Ellis’ titular devil and D.B. Woodside’s Amenadiel, the actress has already been promoted to a full-fledged series regular, TVLine has learned.

The exclusive image of Helfer alongside Ellis and Woodside underscores the fact that mom essentially falls into the same demo as her two sons. “I heard it put, ‘She’s not really that much older than Lucifer and Amenadiel,’” the "Battlestar" vet assured TVLine.

“But it will all make sense once you see it.”

Helfer — who will debut in "Lucifer’s" Season 2 premiere on Monday, Sept. 19 at 9/8c — went on to tease that viewers will “very quickly” realize what the deal is with Charlotte, who’s been trapped in Hell for thousands of years by her ex-husband, God.

“We’re not going to leave people guessing. There’s been enough of that with the concern that she’s escaped from Hell.”
