Jenna Dewan is set to make her return to The CW as her Supergirl character Lucy Lane for Superman & Lois Season 2, Deadline has confirmed.
Dewan, who is set to recur, made her debut as Lucy Lane, Lois Lane’s younger sister, back in 2015 for Supergirl’s debut season. Smart and driven, Lucy doesn’t back down to anyone, with a chip on her shoulder stemming from an unresolved childhood trauma.
Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Jordan Elsass as Jonathan Kent, Alexander Garfin as Jordan Kent, Erik Valdez as Kyle Cushing, Inde Navarrette as Sarah Cushing, Wolé Parks as The Stranger, Adam Rayner as Morgan Edge with Dylan Walsh as General Samuel Lane and Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang Cushing.
News of Dewan’s return to the CW comes as Supergirl, starring Melissa Benoist, nears the end of its eight-season run. The series finale is set to air in November.
Based on the characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman & Lois is developed by Greg Berlanti and Todd Helbing, who serve as executive producers, with Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns and David Madden. Todd Helbing wrote the teleplay for the first episode, based on a story by Berlanti and Helbing. Lee Toland Krieger executive produced and directed the first episode. Superman & Lois is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Dewan currently appears on ABC’s The Rookie. Her additional credits include Soundtrack, The Resident, American Horror Story, The Playboy Club and Step Up. She is also set as a judge on CBS’ Come Dance With Me, which will premiere sometime in the first half of 2022.
She is repped by UTA.
