In another note, the next episode of the series is going to have a light side amidst the tension and violence. According to International Business Times, Kara's love life will be touched as a new love interest is said to join in the story. The surprising thing is that the role of this potential love interest will be played by Benoist's real-life husband, Blake Jenner.
The two personalities met in the comedy-drama series "Glee" when they entered the show in 2012. The two got married in March 2015. Seeing them working together again in a love team will really please fans. However, Jenner will be an addition to the love "sandwich" that's already going on in the show.
Jimmy (Mechad Brooks) and Winn (Jeremy Jordan) have been battling for Kara's heart. Putting in another rival will make the competition tougher. The source cited that Jenner will play the role of Adam Foster, Cat's estranged son.
"Supergirl" returns on Monday, Jan. 4, 2016 on CBS.
