EW has revealed that God will be joining the final season of Netflix’s Lucifer. After years of hearing about the character, Daddy will finally make his debut when the last batch of episodes comes to the streaming service later in 2020.
The Golden Globe-nominated actor Dennis Haysbert (24) will bring God to life in recurring role throughout the season.
Speaking with the trade, co-showrunner Joe Henderson revealed how D.B. Woodside played a key role in landing his former 24 colleague into the series. “D.B. had actually come up to us and said, ‘Have you thought about Dennis?’ We were like, ‘Do you think he’d actually do it?’ And he’s like, ‘Well, I’ve already talked to him and sort of brought it up.’ And so we just went straight on at him.”
Haysbert also commented on joining the long running show for its final season. “Every time I see D.B., there’s always this fondness and this connection…We worked on a show that was arguably one of the best shows ever produced in television, so you’re going to have a kind of camaraderie. I don’t know how I went from brothers to father. We’re celestial. We can do that.”
Lucifer stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Kevin Alejandro, D.B. Woodside, Lesley-Ann Brandt, Rachael Harris, and Aimee Garcia. The series comes from Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich.
