Nikita has recruited Sarah Clarke, the 24 alum fans loved to hate, for a top-secret role, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Clarke — who made a name for herself as CTU mole Nina Myers on 24 — will appear during the second half of Season 2 of The CW’s action-drama (airing Fridays at 8/7c). Yet all other details surrounding her role (character, episode count, first airdate) thus far are being kept under wraps.

Neither do we know if Clarke will get to share scenes with her real-life husband, Xander Berekely, whom she met on 24 and who now plays Nikita‘s Percy.

Clarke’s recent credits include TNT’s Men of a Certain Age and playing mom to Bella Swan in the Twilight movies.

    • Because when I think ratings-boosting stunt casting, I think television character actors.

      She’s a badass, great actor and I’m sure she’ll add a lot to the show.

    • I was just going to post this! They look REALLY alike. Could totally pass for mother and daughter.

      Uh oh, Spy Mommy 2.0. Honestly she’ll never top Irina from Alias, but Spy Mommys make for some good drama!

    • Agreed. Some of the shows today with high ratings will never be as half as good as Nikita is, and continues to be.

  • I’m a fan from Asia. I love this show so much. Everything is perfect in Nikita, the acting, the story, the high-tech. Do wish the show can last longer.

  • Couldn’t help but smile when hearing about this. This makes two 24 cast members in this show now. She was one heck of an appreciated villain I was sad they killed her off.
