Sources confirm to me exclusively that the actor — who was unmasked as Lost’s enigmatic Jacob at the end of last season — is joining the cast of Supernatural as none other than the Prince of Darkness himself, Lucifer.
Lucifer was released from hell in Supe’s season finale last month, although we never caught a glimpse of the little devil’s face. All of that will change when Pellegrino (also known for his role as Rita’s rather satanic ex on Dexter) debuts in the show’s Sept. 10 season premiere.
So, does this mean we’ve seen the last of Jacob on Lost? An ABC rep couldn’t be reached for comment, but here’s a potential clue: Pellegrino isn’t joining Supernatural as a full-time series regular; his status is listed as recurring. You do the math.
Thoughts on this red-hot piece of casting? Sound off below!

Wasn’t he also Rita’s ex on ‘Dexter’?
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark Pellegrino is quickly becoming the most awesome TV actor out there. Getting to play THE iconic characters on both Lost and Supernatural is just too cool.
This guy plays all the good guy roles
How can Jacob be called a “baddie”?
Yup, he was Rita’s ex. And that’s good casting. I couldn’t picture Lucifer. Now I have a face to my imagination!
And Lucifer may not be a series regular but the casting call that was released said, and I quote: “This is an amazing role that will be heavily recurring.” So he’s gonna be pretty damn busy filming “Supernatural” up in Canada and I don’t see him getting that many opportunities to fly out to Hawaii to film Jacob scenes.
Lost is actually filming some stuff on the studio lot in Glendale this season, so he might be used there instead of in Hawaii.
SWEET!!!! Great casting!!
AWESOME!! Supernatural is always amazing with casting the right guy for the job! Another awesome choice after the perfect Misha Collins, Robert Wisdom …..
Can’t wait to see 5.01 now!!!!!!
Mark is perfect for the role!
@Michael no clue why they call him a Lost baddie, mysterious? yeah, but not a bad guy.
i cant wait for supernatural to be back on my tv….come on already…lol…..the only thing that would make next season better is if we get some papa john resurrection…….come on jeffrey…..give us girls what we want…all the winchester men back and blazin!!!!!
I really like this casting. He is amazing as Jacob on Lost and I think he has a really good look to play Lucifer. Kind of reminds me of Fredrick Lehne who was absolutely fantastic as the YED! I’m looking forward to this!
UM…HELLS YEAH!!!! This is by far my favorite casting news in years! SO PERFECT FOR THIS ROLE!
Awesome! “Supernatural” is just so fantastic, I can’t wait for next season!
I think some SPN producers saw Lost’s season finale…
I think some SPN producers saw the awesomeness that was the Lost finale.
So this guy will be playing God on wednesdays and Satan on thursdays? I smell an ego problem coming.
Mark Pellegrino has been guest starring on a lot of my favorite shows lately and Supernatural is just another one in a long line. He’s definitely vying for a show of his own, and based on his performances in his guest starring roles, I think he could carry a show on his own.
Thank You!!!!
Your the man…with all the awesome Supernatural scoop!
This is perfect casting. Thanks babe
throwing a big blue smurf hug your way.
I wish this guy had been cast as Omega on Dollhouse rather than Tudyk. He’s a much better performer than Whedon’s crony.
HELL YES!!!
Sorry, couldn’t resist! ;D
Great casting! He also guest starred in an episode of Chuck. Please casting directors give this guy his own show!!
So excited!!! AHHHH!!!!!!
Cool, he was great on Dexter and Lost, and to think he’ll be in Vancouver filming Supernatural.. I’ll have to pay more attention on the streets
yeah he played rita’s ex on dexter
paul was his name
yeah he was rita’s ex paul
he’s so super awesome and super sexy
great casting, great actor, great show!
I remember him from Dexter and Lost and the guy was AWESOME in both!!! Can’t wait to see how he plays Lucifer!
Now the Supernatural crew just has to kidnapp Lavayette for a tiny little episode and I die from happiness!!!
There is no way to know yet if Jacob is a baddie or not. It seems Doc Jensen needs to respond to this call out on Jacob.
OMG YES!!!!!
