Lois & Clark's Teri Hatcher Cast in Supergirl

Veteran Superman actress Teri Hatcher has landed a role in Supergirl, CBR reports. Hatcher played Lois Lane in the television show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The show ran from 1993 to 1997 on ABC.

Hatcher will play an unknown role in a multi-episode arc of the show. When she'll debut on the show or how long she'll stay has yet to be announced. But she's expected to show up sometime 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," said Supergirl executive producer Andrew Kreisberg. "To have her come back to the SuperWorld in a completely different part is an unbelievable gift to me, Greg [Berlanti], and the fans."

This is not the first time Supergirl has bought in Superman alumni. Hatcher's co-star on Lois & Clark, Dean Cain, played Kara's adoptive father Jeremiah Danvers. Helen Slater, who played Supergirl in her self-titled 1984 movie, plays Kara's adoptive mother, Eliza Danvers. Laura Vandervoot played Supergirl in Smallville and she played the villian Indigo.

I'm looking forward to seeing what part Teri Hatcher will play. What about you? Any speculation as to what her role will be?
