While it’s still possible to catch a glimpse of Lisa Bonet on a daily rerun of The Cosby Show, it’s surprisingly been a whopping 17 years since the actress was last on the show. In that time, Lisa’s daughter, Zoe Kravitz, has even starred in several motion pictures (The Brave One, No Reservations). But now it’s time for mom to go back to work.

In ABC’s Life on Mars, Lisa Bonet will play Maya Daniels, the present-day love interest of the program’s lead character. The show, an adaptation of a British series by the same name, centers around Sam Tyler (Jason O’Mara), a cop who mysteriously travels back in time to the 1970’s.

Other stars already lined up for the drama include Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs), Gretchen Mol (Rounders), Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos) and Jonathan Murphy (October Road).

Life on Mars premieres October 9th right after Grey’s Anatomy.
