Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones has been roped in to play a vital role in the second season of Prodigal Son. Catherine will play the character of Dr Vivian Capshaw.

Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn told Hollywood Reporter, "An extraordinary talent, Catherine Zeta-Jones is the perfect foil for the brilliant Michael Sheen."

"I can't wait to see these two greats go head-to-head in a season that is bound to raise the bar set by an outstanding season one," added Thorn.

Zeta-Jones' character is reported to be a resident MD at the psychiatric institute where Sheen's character, Dr Martin Whitly, is a patient. She initially assigns Martin to menial tasks, but as he proves valuable in treating patients, Dr Capshaw begins to see him in a new light — which is not a good thing.

Prodigal Son airs in India on Colors Infinity.
