, TVLine has confirmed, playing Margaret Langston, the “formidable” matriarch of the Langston family and thus mother of Henry and Fred (played by Kurtwood Smith and Matt Craven).

Dead for over three decades, Margaret “returns” bearing knowledge of her brood’s dark past — secrets she is determined to keep hidden.

Our sister site Deadline was among the first to break the casting news.

I wouldn’t assume it will stop anything else….

Well deserved role for a great actress. Hopefully Resurrection continues to perform well, and people stick around for Revenge afterwards. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Once Season 5, and Revenge Season 5 announcement come April/May next year, along with Season 3 of Ressurection on ABC. Here’s to a successful Sunday for ABC.

Very much looking forward to her appearance. She plays bad but proactive mother quite well.

I’m not familiar with the actress, but I’m loving this story line. All hell is going to break loose in the Langston clan when she shows up, and I’ll be watching.

She plays evil very well. Looking forward to it

Michelle is great actress, love her! Can’t wait.

‘Season-long arc’, that means she’ll be a series regular, right?

So this means she will be free to do…you know…other things?

Absolutely, if she has the offers. It will all depend however on what episodes she appears in though and how much of a role she has. You know, scheduling.

If you’re referring to that one….other thing, they pretty much spelled out that it isn’t happening.

no they didn’t it. they must be trolling us. Why else have the same storyline for Brienne and Brotherhood like in the books which she plays a big part of.

@Jimmy: They didn’t even include the Brotherhood Without Banners in season four. They (I believe it was actually Benioff, Weiss, and Alex Graves) actually came out and said there wasn’t even any discussion on whether THIS would be included or not, that it was always assumed that it wasn’t included. Also, Brienne’s storyline has changed drastically from the books. As far as Brienne knows in the books, Arya is dead, and in her last appearance in AFFC, she’s still looking for Sansa.

I really love this show if for no other reason then the superior acting skills of Omar Epps, Francis Fisher and Kurtwood Smith. Every time they were on screen I couldn’t take my eyes off them. I felt everything that their character felt and they are the main reason I stuck with the show. I’m excited for the 2nd season and the edition of Michelle Fairly.

Jack Bauer kills her and she is back alive as “Margaret”
