Jennifer Beals has joined the cast of the upcoming “Swamp Thing” series at DC Universe, Variety reports while further adding that she will appear in the recurring guest star role of Sheriff Lucilia Cable.

Described as tough as nails and pragmatic, Cable’s fierce devotion to her son, Matt, is rivaled only by her sworn duty to serve and protect the town of Marais. As the community she has dedicated her life to defending is beset by strange forces, she must double down in her efforts to safeguard everyone she holds dear.

She joins previously announced cast members Crystal Reed and Maria Sten, with Derek Mears (Friday the 13th) confirmed to be playing the title character.

The James Wan-produced series aiming to be scary and rated “R” violent, primarily based on Alan Moore’s run. It will also feature a practical creature suit, which Mears will be donning.

Beals, pictured below, most recently joined the cast of “After,” the adaptation of Anna Todd’s series of five bestselling YA novels. She also recently starred in the NBC series “Taken” and the Amazon series “The Last Tycoon.”
