Vampire Diaries’ Chris Wood is Coming to Supergirl Season 2

Okay guys, it's not over yet, we've been asking "Who would you like to see in the second season of Super gilr? With the show’s production being moved from Los Angeles, California to Vancouver, Canada, the vast majority of these questions focused around which members of the cast (chiefly, Calista Flockhart) would possibly be affected, see their roles reduced, or be lost in the transition entirely.
Thus far, all signs seem to indicate that certain roles (like that of Flockhart’s Cat Grant) might be reduced as a result of the move, while others are being added left and right in order to fill in the gaps. Teen Wolf’s Tyler Hoechlin was the first to join to the second season’s cast as none other than the Man of Steel himself, and was quickly followed thereafter by Cougar Town‘s Ian Gomez (as hard-hitting journalist Snapper Carr), Floriana Lima (as Special Crimes Unit captain Maggie Sawyer), and Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter, as the P.O.T.U.S.
Now, TV Line is reporting the latest Supergirl casting, which comes in the form of CW regular Chris Wood. Wood, who recently secured a regular role in the second season of PBS’ Civil War drama Mercy Street, will be joining the cast in a series regular role has yet to be revealed – though it is reported to be “a surprise DC Comics character.” Wood’s character will debut early on in Supergirl season 2.
Wood’s casting in Supergirl marks the fourth series that the young actor has been cast in for The CW in the past few years alone. After debuting on the network in The Carrie Diaries as Adam Weaver, a love interest to Anna Sophia Robb’s young Carrie Bradshaw who received a six-episode arc before the show’s cancellation in 2014, Wood was then cast as Kai Parker in The Vampire Diaries. Most recently, he co-starred as Jake in the epidemic drama Containment, which was similarly cancelled after a brief run on the network.
