Cast Update On Lucifer Season 3

Star of popular series Smallville Tom Welling is set to return to the small screen, joining Lucifer's third season. The casting announcement was made at the Fox supernatural drama's panel at Comic-Con on Saturday, with Welling come out to surprise the audience. 

The former Clark Kent is set to 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.

Welling's turn on Lucifer marks his first TV role since playing Clark Kent/Superman for 10 years. In its third season, which is set to premiere on Oct. 2, fans will see Lucifer on a mission to find out who kidnapped him and why his angel wings are back.
