It was way back in March when we shared the news that Josh Lucas (THE FIRM) and Lynn Collins ("True Blood") had joined the cast of A&E's upcoming supernatural series pilot "Occult", spearheaded by Michael Bay and written by veteran genre writer and "The X-Files" alum James Wong. Today we have the news (per Deadline) that mega-hottie Agnes Bruckner has just signed on to co-star in the pilot, playing…

Lucy, an attractive, edgy young soul caught up in the occult. Presumed dead after being shot in the heart, she rises from the autopsy table, possessed and hell-bent on joining her fellow cultists.”

Nice! Sounds like "Occult" will be filled with some interesting characters. As for the show itself, "Occult" revolves around…

an FBI agent (Lucas) who has returned from administrative leave after going off the deep end while investigating his wife’s disappearance. Eager to be back on the job, he is paired with an agent with her own complicated back story who specializes in the occult (Collins). Together, they will solve cases for the newly formed occult crimes task force.

The potential new series is written by Wong ("The X-Files," "Millennium," "American Horror Story"), who will executive produce with Bay. Bay's partners at Platinum Dunes, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, will be producing.
