Lauren Cohan is returning to the CW with the lead female role in Heavenly, a new pilot about a dedicated San Francisco attorney and a former angel who have paired up to “save the futures” of the people they help. Cohan will play Lily DeMarco, “a deceptively young and friendly” young attorney at a legal aid clinic. Her cohort is Dashiel Coffee (played by Ben Aldridge of Lark Rise to Candleford), a “former angel only recently turned human” who tries to save the souls of those Lily saves in court.
