Press Release
Eliza Helm has been cast as a younger version of Cat Grant — the media mogul Calista Flockhart portrayed in season 1 — in the CW superhero drama's sixth season.
Appearing in season 6's fifth and sixth episodes, Helm's young Cat is introduced in flashbacks to the early days of her career when she was known as "CJ Grant." "Eager to step out of Lois Lane's shadow and out from under her boss, Perry White's thumb, Cat chases a story to Kara's hometown of Midvale," reads the official character description. "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."
