Lucifer‘s Amenadiel is making a new friend: Merrin Dungey (Alias) will appear in the Netflix drama’s sixth and final season as Sonya, a no-nonsense cop who forms an unlikely bond with DB Woodside’s angel, the streamer announced on Tuesday.

Additionally, Brianna Hildebrand (Trinkets, The Exorcist) will play Rory, a rebellious and angsty angel hoping to follow in Lucifer’s footsteps.

Following a pandemic-related pause, Lucifer resumed production in late September to finish up the 16th and final episode of Season 5, and then segued directly into the start of production on its sixth and final season, which will run 10 episodes. A premiere date for neither Season 5B nor Season 6 has been announced yet.
