Things are about to get even more interesting in National City, with the DC Comics characters Indigo and Master Jailer set to debut on the super hero thriller Supergirl (Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS), which was recently named Favorite New TV Drama at the 2016 People's Choice Awards.

Laura Vandervoort, who played Kara/Supergirl on the long-running hit drama series Smallville, has been tapped for the recurring role of Indigo, described by producers as a living, strong-willed supercomputer that was sentenced to Fort Rozz after turning against the people of Krypton. Now on Earth, Indigo will let nothing stand in her way.

Jeff Branson, who played Shayne Lewis on Guiding Light and Ronan Malloy on The Young and the Restless, has been cast in the recurring role of Master Jailer. As the forceful and unrelenting jail guard on Fort Rozz, Master Jailer showed no mercy. Now on Earth, he is hellbent on catching all of the Fort Rozz escapees and brutally bringing them to justice.

The announcement was made today during Warner Bros. Television's Supergirl session at the Television Critics Association Winter 2016 Press Tour on the Warner Bros. Studios lot.

Meanwhile, Blake Berris will guest star on the February 15 episode as Gabriel.  Berris played Nick Fallon on Days of our Lives.
