Justified‘s Joelle Carter will be making an appearance on NBC’s new drama Constantine this fall.
According to TVLine, Joelle Carter will be a guest star on Constantine when it premiers this October on NBC. There’s no word yet on how long that role will last, whether it will just be one episode or multiple.
Carter will be portraying “Jasmine Fell, a beautiful but damaged ex-model and back-up singer who is married to a rock star.”
Jasmine is not a character from the Hellblazer comics, and seeing as her description doesn’t hint at any major role on the show, we imagine she’ll only be sticking around for an episode or two.
Carter’s most well-known role is her portrayal of Ava Crowder on the TV series Justified, which began production in 2010 and is still airing. Ava is also a damaged character, so it’ll be interesting to see Carter’s depiction of Jasmine and how it is similar or different from her previous role.
Constantine casting was shaken up a few weeks ago when we learned that Lucy Griffiths’ original character Liv was going to be written out of the show, the creators claiming they loved both the actress and the character, but wanted to go in a different direction.
The other direction came in the form of Angélica Celaya, who will be portraying Zed, a character from the comic book series. Zed has a bit more fire and can go toe-to-toe with Constantine in a way that Liv couldn’t.
At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Hypable attended the pilot screening of the show and shared our thoughts afterward. We also brought you the trailer that was released at SDCC, and our interviews with the cast of Constantine, all of whom seem exceptionally excited about being a part of this Hellblazer adaptation.
Constantine premiers on NBC on Friday, October 24 at 10 p.m. ET.
