Back in March, Supergirl executive producer Greg Berlanti revealed that they wanted to have former Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter, play a role on the series. Today, Warner Bros. and The CW confirmed that Carter has been cast on Supergirl in a recurring role as the President of the United States.
Carter is set to appear in multiple episodes and will first appear in the third episode of the show’s second season.
Best known for her role as the iconic hero, Lynda Carter is also an accomplished singer who has performed to rave reviews before sell-out crowds from the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC to Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. She’s also recently leant her voice to many popular video games, including this year’s Fallout 4.
Melissa Benoist leads the cast of Supergirl as the title character alongside Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El, Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant, Chyler Leigh as Alexandra “Alex” Danvers, Jeremy Jordan as Winslow “Winn” Schott, Jenna Dewan Tatum as Lucy Lane (sister of Lois), David Harewood as Hank Henshaw, Peter Facinelli as Maxwell Lord, with Dean Cain and Helen Slater.
Supergirl airs at 8/7c p.m. Mondays on The CW. The second season premieres on October 10th.
