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.

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.
