Per the full synopsis for "Back From the Future - Part One,"
JEREMY JORDAN RETURNS; DAVID HAREWOOD DIRECTS – As Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) tries to thwart a Toyman copycat, Winn Schott (guest star Jeremy Jordan) returns from the future. David Harewood directed the episode written by Dana Horgan & Katie Rose Rogers (#511). Original airdate 1/26/2020.
Jordan first boarded the cast of Supergirl in 2015 ahead of the series' initial premiere on CBS. As a series regular, he played Winn -- the best friend of Melissa Benoist's Kara Danvers/Supergirl -- before departing the show after Season 3. Winn's absence on the show is attributed to him taking on a new role as a member of the futuristic Legion. While nothing has been officially confirmed, it seems rather likely Jordan's guest star status will carry over into "Back From the Future - Part Two."
Returning Sunday, Jan. 19 at 9 pm ET/PT on The CW, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers, David Harewood as Martian Manhunter, Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen and Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers.
