In addition to Konechny, the new season will also include new characters that include Bruce Boxleitner as Vice President, Rhona Mitra as the villainous Mercy Graves, Robert Baker as Mercy’s brother Otis, Sam Witwer as Agent Liberty, and Nicole Maines as television’s first transgender superhero Dreamer.
Season 3 saw Supergirl stop Reign and the other Worldkillers’ threat to humanity and our planet, and in the process, Kara was shocked to find her mother Alura alive and living in a salvaged Argo City that survived the destruction of Krypton. Reconnecting with her past caused Kara to realize that her true home is now here on Earth, where big changes are taking place for her and all of her friends in National City – and also, it appears, for a doppelganger in Russia! Season four promises to be full of surprises, action, adventure and lots of big revelations for Supergirl, Alex, James, J’onn, Lena and Brainy.
