Before its the official October premiere date, CBS has made a new casting announcement  for the DC Comics superheroine Supergirl. In Episode 3, will Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), find herself competing against Lucy Lane (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) for the affections of Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks)?

According to Entertainment Weekly, theWitches of East End actress will have a recurring role as Lucy Lane. In the CBS drama, Lucy, who happens to be the sister of Lois Lane, is brash, funny and successful in her own right. Just like in the comics, Lucy will also be an ex-girlfriend of Jimmy Olsen (Brooks),
