TV Line has learned that Melissa Benoist's former Glee co-star and current husband Blake Jenner has landed a recurring role on the first season of the hit CBS superhero drama Supergirl. He'll portray Adam Foster, a potential love interest for Benoist's Kara. The report describes his character as "a handsome stranger from Cat Grant's past whose arrival in National City tests Kara and Cat's relationship like never before. At the same time, Adam and Kara form a very unexpected connection"
Jenner's the latest Glee alum to appear on one of Greg Berlanti's DC television shows, following the likes of Benoist and Grant Gustin (The Flash). He's probably best known for winning the second season of The Glee Project.
