THE CW's SUPERMAN & LOIS
- Jenna Dewan will reprise her Supergirl role on a recurring basis in the drama's upcoming second season. She appeared in 13 episodes of Supergirl's first season - when the show aired on CBS before transitioning to a CW original.

- She plays Lucy Lane, the sister of Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch).
NETFLIX's PARTNER TRACK

Sunny starred in the first season of The CW's Pandora and recurred on NBC's Chicago Med.
- Chiam will play Zi-Xin "Z" Min, a handsome idealist with a strong sense of right and wrong. His steadfast commitment to the environment might seem overzealous to some, but to Z, integrity is everything. His priorities bring him head-to-head with Ingrid (Cho) as her client courts his family's energy company.

Morgan cites personal reasons for the departure, though she could return as a guest star in the future.
- Morgan released the following statement on her exit: "After much thoughtful consideration and introspection, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to step away from my role as Mick Ramirez on Walker for personal reasons, and I am eternally grateful to have the support of the producers, CBS Studios and The CW in allowing me to do so. The opportunity to play Micki has truly been a blessing as has working alongside the incredible cast and crew of this terrific series. Please know that I will continue to root for my TV family and wish them all the best."
