Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal, Brothers & Sisters) is soaring back to television in Supergirl.

Flockhart has been cast as Cat Grant in the CBS pilot according to Variety. The role is described as a “self-made media mogul and founder of CatCo, where Kara Zor-El  works as her assistant. Cat started her career as a reporter and has built her company into a global powerhouse.”

Melissa Benoist is playing Kara/Supergirl in the series from Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash) and Ali Adler.

Mehcad Brooks will play Jimmy Olsen, Kara’s love interest.

In comics Grant was a gossip columnist for The Daily Planet and potential love interest for Clark. Grant would later become a television reporter and have her own tv talk show. Tracy Scoggins played her on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
