February 27, 2015: Helen Slater and Dean Cain Cast in Top-Secret Supergirl TV Roles

Dean Cain and Helen Slater According to TVLine.com, Helen Slater and Dean Cain have landed guest-starring roles on the upcoming Supergirl TV series set to debut on CBS this September.

As Superman and Supergirl fans know, Helen Slater played the role of Supergirl in the 1984 movie of the same name. While Dean Cain played Clark Kent/Superman in the 1990s TV series "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman".

TVLine.com claims that "details on who the pair will be playing in the pilot are being kept under lock and key".

The cast consists of: Melissa Benoist as Kara/Supergirl, Chyler Leigh as Alexandra "Alex" Danvers, Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El, Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant, and David Harewood as Hank Henshaw.

Andrew Kreisberg (The Flash and Arrow) recently joined Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler as a writer on the series. Glen Winter is directing the pilot episode from a script penned by Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family) and Greg Berlanti (Arrow), both of whom will be executive producers alongside Sarah Schechter and Andrew Kreisberg.

Casting Calls for this series also indicate that Superman will make an appearance (although they're only looking for a Body Double, so we probably won't see his face).
