‘Supergirl’: Teri Hatcher Joins Season 2 As Recurring In Mystery Role

Teri Hatcher, who starred as Lois Lane in ABC’s Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, is returning to the DC Comics universe, joining the Season 2 cast of the CW’s Supergirl in a recurring role.

Details of her character aren’t known, but it’s described by the CW as “a mysterious new role that will become the new Big Bad of Season 2.”

Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg said of Hatcher’s casting, “No offense to any of the wonderful actresses who have also played the part, but Teri Hatcher is my all time favorite Lois Lane. To have her come back to the SuperWorld in a completely different part is an unbelievable gift to me, Greg, and the fans.”

The Desperate Housewives alumna most recently appeared opposite Matthew Perry & Thomas Lennon in a recurring role on NBC’s comedy series The Odd Couple.

The CW series starring Melissa Benoist as Supergirl was recently renewed for a third season.

Teri Hatcher Joins CW’s ‘Supergirl’ in Mystery Villain Role

Teri Hatcher — former star of “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” — has joined the cast of the CW’s “Supergirl” for a multi-episode arc this season, Variety has learned.

Hatcher has been cast in a mystery role, though her character will become the new Big Bad of Season 2. The date of her first appearance has not been set yet, but her episodes will air this winter.

“No offense to any of the wonderful actresses who have also played the part, but Teri Hatcher is my all time favorite Lois Lane. To have her come back to the SuperWorld in a completely different part is an unbelievable gift to me, Greg, and the fans,” said the show’s executive producer Andrew Kreisberg on behalf of “Supergirl” co-creater Greg Berlanti.


In addition to a SuperWorld reunion, “Supergirl” also marks a reunion for the former Lois Lane and her “Desperate Housewives” co-star Mehcad Brooks, who plays Jimmy Olsen on the CW series.

Following “Desperate Housewives,” Hatcher most recently recurred on the CBS comedy “The Odd Couple,” opposite Matthew Perry.

Hatcher is not the only “Lois & Clark” alum to appear on “Supergirl.” Former Superman Dean Cain has been in four episodes of the CW show, including the pilot.
