It has been five years since Jenna Dewan made her last appearance as Lucy Lane during the first season of Supergirl, and now the Step Up star is finally returning to the DC Universe in another Arrowverse series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dewan has signed on to reprise Lucy Lane in the forthcoming second season of The CW’s Superman & Lois. She is expected to appear in multiple episodes as a recurring character.
In Supergirl, Dewan’s Lucy was introduced as a military officer and James Olsen’s ex-girlfriend. She was briefly appointed as the director of the D.E.O. after the identity of David Harewood’s Martian Manhunter was exposed. The new season will mark the second time that the Lane sisters will appear together on television, with the first one being Smallville where Lucy was first portrayed by Peyton List.
