Following a lengthy absence, Jenna Dewan is set to make her long-awaited return to the Arrowverse as Lucy Lane. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress, who played Lois Lane's younger sister in Supergirl's debut season, will have a recurring role in season 2 of Superman & Lois.
This will actually mark the first time fans will see this iteration of the Lane sisters share the screen. Dewan was last seen as Lucy in 2016, but Elizabeth Tulloch didn't join the DC Universe until 2018 when she was introduced in the "Elseworlds" crossover. Only a handful of Arrowverse actors have showed up in Superman & Lois, with David Ramsey's John Diggle making a brief appearance.
For the most part, the show has been relatively standalone in nature, though we would like to see Mehcad Brooks' Jimmy Olsen make his presence felt given his storied history with the Man of Steel.
Dewan featured in thirteen episodes of Supergirl before leaving to star in FOX series The Resident. As the Arrowverse has essentially been rebooted since her last appearance, it remains to be seen what sort of changes Lucy has gone through since she departed National City.
This is definitely exciting news for fans, and with Supergirl set to conclude after six seasons, it will be interesting to see if any other characters join her. Recently, Melissa Benoist said she would be open to returning to the Arrowverse as the Girl of Steel should the opportunity ever present itself.
Superman & Lois will return to The CW in 2022.
