Senator Miranda Crane advocates against aliens, even superheroes like Supergirl, roaming free on Earth, but her opinion may change when some non-friendly aliens touch down in National City.
"Supergirl" has cast Tawny Cypress as the senator who is "peddling her anti-alien beliefs to garner votes," according to TVLine. She will appear later this season.
An alien attack while Senator Crane visits National City may force her to accept a little help from another extraterrestrial - Supergirl (Melissa Benoist).
Cypress' past credits include "Unforgettable," "House of Cards" and "Rescue Me."
"Supergirl" will also add a new male character named Matthew, set to recur starting in episode 11, according to TVLine. The new guy is a "hunky, well-built heartthrob with abandonment issues" and a potential love interest for Kara.
Looks like James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) and Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan) will have some extra competition if they wish for Supergirl to fall in love with them.
"Supergirl" airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
