“Body of Proof’s” Dana Delany has been cast as the lead role in Amazon Studios’ latest project pilot “Hand of God.”

Delany will play Crystal Harris, the protective wife of Judge Pernell—played by “Sons of Anarchy’s” Ron Perlman.

“Hand of God” centers on Pernell, who has a high-end call girl on the side, experiences a religious awakening when he suspects that God is speaking to him through his ventilator-bound son.

“World War Z’s” Marc Foster will direct from a script by Ben Watkins. Both will executive produce, along with Perlman and Brian Wilkins.

Production is set to begin in April.
