Teri Hatcher is the latest alum of the Super-verse to return via the CW’s Supergirl, according to Deadline. But this time, she appears on the dark side of the Super force.
A “Super” Reunion on the Horizon?
Hatcher co-starred with Dean Cain on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman in the 90s. Cain appears in Supergirl periodically as Jeremiah Danvers, Kara’s adoptive father. Details about Hatcher’s role on the show are sparse for now. We do, however, know that her role is recurring,described as “…a mysterious new role that will become the new Big Bad of Season 2.”
Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg also commented on the casting: “To have [Hatcher] come back to the SuperWorld in a completely different part is an unbelievable gift to me, Greg, and the fans.”
Based on the DC comics, Supergirl follows Kara Danvers’ (Melissa Benoist) adventures in National City. Danvers kicked off season two balancing her burgeoning journalism career with life as a superhero. Supergirl’s universe expanded this year, adding Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin), Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) and Mon-El (Chris Wood) as series regulars.
Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks (Jimmy Olsen), Chyler Leigh (Alex Danvers), Jeremy Jordan (Winn Schott), and David Harewood (J’onn J’onzz/Hank Henshaw). The show was recently renewed for a third season.
