According to executive producer Scott Rosenbaum, actress Jane Badler will appear on ABC's Vancouver-lensed TV series "V" as a recurring character.
Badler played the lizard 'Diana' in the original 1980's "V" series and will play a new character named 'Diana' in the rebooted show, who is the reptilian alien mother of 'Anna'.
"...'Anna' (Morena Baccarin) is keeping her mother prisoner on the mother ship in a never-before-seen section that has been designed to look like the Visitors' home planet..."

Inspired by "It Can't Happen Here" a 1935 novel by author Sinclair Lewis focusing on fascism in the US, "V" was originally created by director–producer Kenneth Johnson.

The Visitors have won favor among the people of Earth by curing a variety of diseases, and have recruited Earth's youth — including Erica's son 'Tyler' (Huffman) — to serve them unknowingly as spies..."
