Hot on the heels of last night's big cliffhanger ending, TV Line has learned that Tayler Buck (Annabelle: Creation; The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story) has officially been upped to series regular status for Superman & Lois season two.
The move shouldn't come as a major surprise considering the finale's closing moments saw Natalie Irons (Buck) crash-land on Earth-Prime, reuniting with her father (Wolé Parks) and setting the stage for some heavy drama in the show's sophomore outing as she laid her eyes on the doppelgänger of her tragically murdered mother (Elizabeth Tulloch).
Her character Natalie is actually based on Natasha Irons from the comics, a DC Comics heroine who operated as the fifth Steel, and also used the codenames Starlight and Vaporlock. With Buck onboard, it seems like the show may be building to her eventually joining the fight alongside John Henry and the Kents.
Buck is the second new series regular for next year, joining Sofia Hasmik (Chrissy Beppo).
They'll join returning stars Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent/Superman), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane), Jordan Elsass (Jonathan Kent), Alex Garfin (Jordan Kent), Erik Valdez (Kyle Cushing), Inde Navarrette (Sarah Cushing), Wolé Parks (John Henry Irons), Adam Rayner (Tal-Rho), Dylan Walsh (General Sam Lane), and Emmanuelle Chriqui (Lana Lang Cushing).
Superman & Lois will return for season two at midseason 2022.
