Melissa Benoist has been cast as the title character in CBS’ new Supergirl series.
Benoist can currently be seen as Miles Teller’s love interest in the critically acclaimed Whiplash. While no longer with the series, Benoist also had a role on Glee for two seasons – amusingly making her the second Glee cast member, after The Flash’s Grant Gustin, to move on to starring as a DC superhero.
The official description for Supergirl reads: “Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.”
