The CW's Supergirl is casting a transgender character who will play a significant role in the DC Comics-based show's upcoming fourth season, ComicBook.com has learned from multiple sources.
This news originates in a casting notice for a character called Nia Nal, described as a transgender woman in her early 20s. The character is being cast with open ethnicity, meaning that they do not have a specific ethnic background in mind. She may be positioned to take over the newsroom, as she comes in with a strong journalism background a la Snapper Carr and is described as a young Cat Grant type.
Ironically, Cat Grant left the news industry to work in government, serving as press secretary to President Olivia Marsdin.
According to the casting call obtained by ComicBook.com, Jia will be a confident, wunderkind of a fashionista. Once a political speechwriter, Nia is the newest addition to the CatCo investigative reporting team. With her she brings sparlking wit and biting humor but under that banter-y, chic facade, lays a soulful young woman who has much to offer the world.

I’ll take how to kill a tv series one stupid decision at a time for a $1,000....Alex
Never watched the program but consider this to be “jumping the shark”.
Of course they are. "Supergirl" was Social Justice Warrior crap right from the get go.
I don't think I have ever read a single instance in which Jimmy Olsen did that. Superman was about the only comic I ever bought, and I used to have a huge collection. This stuff must have started after I quit buying comics, probably around the late eighties.
Nia Nal?
I think they spelled “Death Nail” wrong.
That is actually pretty funny. It is funny because it is so close to the absurd truth of this nonsense.
Holy missing brain, Batman!
Catatonic viewers just noticed!
Supergirl has had overt and covert (mostly covert) perverts of every kind since the second season.
I don't do perversion as entertainment. Can't stand the sight or sound of them.
Madam Secretary lost me when the butch with the weird hairdo showed up.
Even if they create a law to force me to watch, it ain't happening.
But if it does happen it would be in a state of war.
The only surprise is that it took until Season Four.
Is that a show?
Oh yes.
I need to update my list of otherwise excellent series in the last 20 years where one of the "stars"just couldn't stay in the closet. Or the writers.
The list has gotten quite long, and yes, they are all gone from this household..
Character newly created for tv?
Rather watch hour of Melissa Benoit.
Since Scorpion is cancelled , Katherine McPhee is available.
#NoTestesNoOvariesNoEthnicity
They all win!
“Supergirl” lost me a couple of seasons ago with the awkward lesbian relationship between Alex Danvers and Detective Maggie Sawyer. This element of the story always seemed to be forced, with no connection to the plot thread, inserted only for its “shock value”, and support of the gay agenda.
I have not been back since.
This is what happens when the writers rely on psychedelic assistance in creating story lines.
Here’s guessing that the ratings will implode, and there will be no Season Five.
Get Woke. . .go broke. . .
If you have watched Supergirl its clear that the show is propaganda for pro immigrant, pro cross-race sex, pro gay and transgender, pro diversity in the work place. There are hot lesbians making out. Every story line revolves around a villain who hates humans or non-humans. No more are villains just trying to take over the world or make a lot of money, they now have to eradicate some species.
Dr. Who may have some of the same issues. But at least they have good characters on most sides of an issue. And daleks still want to exterminate everyone no matter how trans they are.
If you also make the character a Muslim who is in the country illegally, the networks will wage a bidding war to buy the rights.
If they actually used psychedelics before writing these scripts they would not mindlessly ape the latest politically correct dreck—they might actually be creative.
The key to understanding Leftists is they have _no_ independent thought.
They march in lockstep—and turn on a dime—in lockstep. (Think Hitler-Stalin pact...)
