Sofia Hasmik has joined the cast of Superman and Lois.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Hasmik will portray Chrissy Beppo, a reporter for the Smallville Gazette. Chrissy is described as a "go-getter with dreams of bigger and better things," until "a chance encounter with her idol changes her life trajectory." She also apparently "has a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time."
Superman and Lois will spin out of the events of the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover. Clark Kent and Lois Lane move back to Smallville to raise their sons, Jonathan and Jordan. The official synopsis hints that the Kents will "come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever - dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today's society." They will also reunite with Clark's childhood friend, Lana Lang, who is married and has a daughter. The Flash's Todd Helbing serves as series showrunner, with Greg Berlanti attached as a producer.
Filming on Superman & Lois is currently underway in Surrey, which will serve as the town of Smallville. The pilot was meant to shoot earlier this year but was pushed back due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The synopsis for Superman & Lois can be found below.
In SUPERMAN & LOIS, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin, “Teen Wolf”) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, “Grimm”), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever - dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, “Little Fires Everywhere”) and Jordan (Alexander Garfin, “The Peanuts Movie”) could inherit their father’s Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older. Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui, “Entourage”), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, “Graceland”). The adults aren’t the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle’s rebellious daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette, “Wander Darkly”). Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, “Nip/Tuck”) looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment’s notice. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois’ return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, “All American”) enters their lives.
Debuting in January 2021, Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Dylan Walsh, Alex Garfin, Jordan Elsass, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Inde Navarrette and Wolé Parks.
