Her new Lifetime movie, Dangerous Intuition, premieres tonight and her pilot Killer Women - which she headlines as a Texas Ranger (that has Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara among its producers - was just ordered to series by ABC.
Helfer and I talked a few days before the Killer Women announcement, as she gave me a window into why she connected with the new role, while also touching on the challenges in Dangerous Intuition...

TV Fanatic: The character you play in Dangerous Intuition has more than a little bit of baggage and it’s interesting how it played out since we, the viewer, are not even sure what’s going on in her mind.
Tricia Helfer: In filming it, I knew the outcome and hopefully the audience won’t get it too quickly. We didn’t want to give away...

In pilot news, ABC is pursuing a drama that will put Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer in the role of the rarely seen female Texas Ranger.

And Helfer is about as badass as it gets.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Helfer will be playing Molly Parker in Killer Women, an adaptation of the Argentinean drama Mujeres Asesinas. Molly is a prime specimen, with credentials that would make any steel-jawed man stand starring with his mouth hanging open. She knows how to get to...
