Jane Badler Could Guest Star On “V”

One of the original alien invaders from “V” could guest star on the reboot of the series this fall.

Jane Badler, who played the Diana in the mini-series and movie, could have a guest role this fall, producer Scott Rosenbaum revealed at this weekend’s Comic Con.

But who she’ll play is being kept a secret, leading some to speculate she may play Anna’s mother. What we do know is Badler will play a character named Diana. Whether it’s the same Diana we saw in the 80’s remains to be seen.

“We’re going to cast the best actor and she is certainly someone we’re thinking about,” said Rosenbaum. “I don’t know if she’ll be Anna’s mother, but I’d like to have her be in the show this season.”

So is the name a coincidence? “When I was pitching the concept to the network and the studio on who this character was, it was easiest to frame it in terms of if it’s her mother, is it possible that [it’s the one] from the ’80s series?” Rosenbaum said after the panel.

One thing’s for sure: We’ll get to see the V’s home world this season. The V boss said that we’ll see Diana in her “natural habitat.”
