Supergirl Season 6 Casts Eliza Helm as Flashback Cat Grant

Following up the release of the episode overview for the long-running Arrowverse series' sixth and final season, newcomer Eliza Helm has been cast as a younger version of Cat Grant- Calista Flockhart's media mogul character from the first season (with a Season 3 appearance) of The CW's Supergirl. Set to debut during the upcoming 6th and 7th episodes ("Prom Night" and "Prom Again!"), EW reports that the younger version of Grant will be introduced in flashbacks to a time when she was known as "CJ Grant." According to the official character description, Helm's CJ is "eager to step out of Lois Lane's shadow and out from under her boss, Perry White's thumb." To that end, "Cat chases a story to Kara's hometown of Midvale. This lead won't go as planned, but it will put her on the trajectory toward the Media Powerhouse we know and love as Cat Grant."

Now here's a look at the sixth and final season-opener for The CW's Supergirl, with "Rebirth" hitting your screens on Tuesday, March 30:

Knowing how dangerous this makes her brother, Lena (Katie McGrath) enlists the entire team – Alex (Chyler Leigh), J'onn (David Harewood), Dreamer (Nicole Maines), Kelly (Azie Tesfair), and Brainiac – to help, but Supergirl realizes that the only way to truly stop Lex is to sacrifice herself.
