Today at the Comic-Con International in San Diego, producers announced new cast members for Supergirl and an official new look at Kara’s new Super-suit for Season 5. All of these elements are also in a thrilling new Season 5 trailer complete with several new clips, which you can find below.

A press release and gallery of released images can be found beneath the trailer. And yes, Andrea Rojas is a character we saw in the Smallville episode “Vengeance” years ago – this time played by a different actor with a new direction, of course!

NEW FACES IN NATIONAL CITY AND A NEW SUIT FOR SUPERGIRL!

Two New Series Stars Join the Cast for Season Five: Julie Gonzalo (Veronica Mars) as DC Character Andrea Rojas (aka Acrata), and Staz Nair (Game of Thrones) as Renowned Reporter William Dey

SAN DIEGO and BURBANK, Calif. — Once again, Supergirl landed at Comic-Con with another superpowered panel filled with surprises and reveals about the eagerly awaited upcoming season. Perhaps most striking for fans is that the character of Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl (played by Melissa Benoist) will be sporting a new Kryptonian supersuit — the first revamp since her co-worker, friend, and confidante Winn Schott designed her iconic red and blue gear in season one. And two new characters will also be on the scene in National City this season.

NEW SUPERSUIT

The new suit, conceptualized by Supergirl costume designer Victoria Auth and created by Ironhead Studios and Bill Hargates Costumes, follows the evolution of supersuits in executive producer Greg Berlanti’s “Arrowverse,” which has seen redesigns of both the Arrow and Flash suits in recent years.

Regarding Kara’s new look, executive producers Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner said: “We’re beyond excited to update Supergirl’s iconic suit. We think her new image is strong and powerful. We hope the fans are as excited about it as we are.”

NEW CHARACTERS AND SERIES REGULARS

In addition to the first official unveiling of the new Supergirl supersuit, the show’s producers announced that two new characters will be joining the action in National City for the upcoming season: DC’s Andrea Rojas (aka Acrata) and renowned reporter William Dey.

Julie Gonzalo (Veronica Mars, Dallas, Eli Stone) will star as iconic DC character Andrea Rojas (aka Acrata). A polished businesswoman and heir to a Central American tech empire, Andrea Rojas (aka Acrata) is now making a hostile advance into the world of media. Unapologetic and unafraid to make waves, she also holds a mystical secret. Gonzalo will first appear as Rojas in the season premiere on Sunday, October 6, at 9/8c on The CW.

UK-based actor Staz Nair — who is perhaps best known for playing Qhono, a Dothraki warrior loyal to Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones — will play hardened reporter William Dey, an original character created for the series. On the surface, he’s a cynic and a sellout who looks down on Kara’s earnest idealism. Dey’s not interested in making friends, he just wants to get the story — but his ties to the criminal underworld could prove problematic. Nair (Game of Thrones, FOX’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show, AMC’s Humans) as William Dey will also make his debut during the season premiere episode.

Supergirl returns for its fifth season on Sunday, October 6, at 9/8c on The CW. Produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and based on DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor, Jesse Rath as Brainiac, Nicole Maines as Nia Nal, Azie Tesfai as Kelly Olsen, Andrea Brooks as Eve Tessmacher, with David Harewood as J’onn J’onzz. Greg Berlanti, Jessica Queller, Robert Rovner and Sarah Schechter are executive producers.

Another returning actor has been confirmed for the Superman & Lois series finale.

We had already seen that Tayler Buck (Natalie) would be back for the finale; now also via Instagram we see that Emmanuelle Chriqui (Lana Lang) will be back for the final episode as well.

“SO many emotions… much more later,” she captioned it.

Tyler Hoechlin (Clark), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois), Alex Garfin (Jordan), Michael Bishop (Jonathan), and Michael Cudlitz (Lex Luthor) are the only series regulars who will be returning in that status for the final season, but most of the actors not on that list, including Chriqui, Buck, Wolé Parks, Dylan Walsh, Sofia Hasmik, and Erik Valdez, are expected to make guest appearances in Season 4.

As revealed earlier this week by Bitsie Tulloch, the series finale is called “It Went By So Fast.” The fourth and final season will consist of only ten episodes, with the last one currently filming as we speak. Superman & Lois Season 4 is scheduled to premiere this Fall on The CW; follow @KryptonSite on Twitter/X for continued updates about the new season! And if you’d like to see what Emmanuelle posted on Instagram, you can see an embed below.

Season three of SUPERMAN & LOIS opens weeks after Superman’s blowout defeat of Ally Allston. Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) are now working at the Smallville Gazette together and enjoying small town life. But the Kents’ romantic bliss only shines a light on how isolating “the secret” can be, as Chrissy (Sofia Hasmik) struggles to balance a new love interest and her friendship with Lois. However, Lois’ own work-life balance is put to the test when an undercover assignment reveals a deadly foe that promises to change the Kent family forever. Superman would move heaven and earth for his family, but with a villain this merciless, even that might not be enough. Meanwhile, the Kent boys find themselves being pulled in opposite directions as Jordan (Alex Garfin) discovers what a superhero-identity really means and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) searches for purpose beyond the football field. Amid all this upheaval, John Henry (Wolé Parks) is haunted by his doppelgänger’s past, leading to dangerous consequences for him and Natalie (Tayler Buck). Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and Kyle (Erik Valdez) redefine their family post-separation, while Sarah (Inde Navarrette) explores what the future holds for her and Jordan now that she knows the truth about his powers. Having learned the hard way that no one else can be trusted to work with Superman, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh) reclaims his post at the Department of Defense, only to face his own conflict in working with his grandson, Jordan.

SUPERMAN & LOIS stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent, Alexander Erik Valdez as Kyle Cushing, Inde Navarrette as Sarah Cushing, Wolé Parks as Henry Irons, Tayler Buck as Natalie Irons Sofia Hasmik as Chrissy Beppo, Chad L. Coleman as Bruno Mannheim, with Dylan Walsh as General Samuel Lane and Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang Cushing.

Adding to the recent news about the casting of Douglas Smith as Jimmy Olsen, Tyler Hoechlin today shared a photo on Instagram showing off Clark Kent and Lois Lane inside the Daily Planet. This fuels our suspicion that another flashback story may be on the way for Superman & Lois Season 4!

“Back to work at the Daily Planet with @bitsietulloch. Hard to believe we only have five weeks left,” Tyler shared, simultaneously confirming that indeed, there are only five weeks of filming left for The CW TV show.

The fourth and final season of Superman & Lois is headed our way Fall 2024 on The CW. You can take a look at Tyler’s post below.
