Tom Welling (Smallville) will join Season 3 of FOX‘s Lucifer. Welling will play “Marcus Pierce,” an accomplished police lieutenant who is everything Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is not – strategic, reserved and well-respected. But perhaps even more annoying are all the things they have in common. Both men are charming, charismatic and handsome as hell. So when Pierce starts developing a connection with Decker (Lauren German), Lucifer’s devilish traits are inflamed.
Entering its third season, the story of the original fallen angel continues, when Lucifer returns Monday, Oct. 2 in its new time period (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on Fox. As Season 2 came to a close, Lucifer took care of a little problem called Mom, aka Charlotte (Tricia Helfer). But now he’s facing an even greater one – finding out who kidnapped him, and why his angel wings are back.
Tom Welling is best known for playing “Clark Kent/Superman” on the long-running television series Smallville. In addition to acting, he directed multiple episodes of the series and served as an executive producer. Welling recently starred in the film The Choice.
