‘Supergirl’ Season 2 Spoilers: When Will Cat Grant Return?

Calista Flockhart might reprise her role as Cat Grant in the latter half of “Supergirl” Season 2.

Although Flockart is not currently confirmed to appear in any additional Season 2 episodes of the CW series, TVLine recently reported that there’s talk for the Golden Globe-winning actress to have a short-term comeback on the Melissa Benoist-led show in the spring.

Cat was last seen in Season 2, episode 2, titled “The Last Children of Krypton.” At the end of the episode, Cat decided to take a leave of absence from CatCo Worldwide Media to find bigger and better things to do. Before she left CatCo, Cat promoted James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) to be her stand-in while she’s away.

Flockhart was a series regular in Season 1, but after the production of the show was moved from Los Angeles to Vancouver, she and Warner Bros. TV reached an agreement that she would only return for Season 2 as recurring guest star.

According to Deadline, keeping Flockhart onboard with the new filming location had been an issue as the “Ally McBeal” alum was not willing to move with her family from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Although she was not obligated to continue, Flockhart decided not to quit, so the studio will fly her to Vancouver every few weeks or so.

“’Supergirl’ wouldn’t be Supergirl without the amazing Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant,” said executive producer Andrew Kreisberg in a statement. “We are so excited Calista has agreed to continue on the show when she can. We and the audience love to see her on screen.”
