While no, it won’t be Debra Winger as the VP to Lynda Carter’s President Olivia Marsdin, Warner Bros. has announced that Brent Spiner, star of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Independence Day, Phenomenon and more, will be recurring in Supergirl Season 4 in the role of “Vice President Baker.”
Carter has implied on Twitter that she will be returning in Supergirl Season 4.
Spiner isn’t the first ST:TNG star to appear in a Superman TV project; both Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker) and Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar) appeared on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
Here’s an official description for the character courtesy of the Supergirl production:
Adept and politically minded, Vice President Baker makes for an unlikely leader, but steps up in a big way when his country needs him most.
Supergirl moves to Sundays when the show returns October 14 on The CW.
