Before They Take Over Gotham, Meet the Cast of the New Batwoman TV Show

Meagan Tandy, who's set to play a high-level security agent, is no stranger to TV shows aimed at young adults: she was a main cast member on Jane by Design and had a multiseason recurring role on Teen Wolf. Fun fact: she also was a fairly successful pageant queen at one point, competing as Miss California in the 2007 Miss USA pageant and placing as the third runner-up.

By joining the cast of Batwoman as the son of Lucius Fox (and, in the comics, a future hero himself), Camrus Johnson also joins a small, select group of actors: those who have had roles in both the Marvel universe and the DC universe. He previously had a two-episode arc on Luke Cage and now is set as a series regular on Batwoman. You can also catch him in The Sun Is Also a Star this Summer.

The MSNBC host has signed on to play Vesper Fairchild, a television and radio personality in the Batman comics. Maddow won't make an onscreen appearance, but she'll still somehow be on the show.

As Kate's stepsister Mary, Nicole Kang plays the "normal human" role: a young influencer devoted to working with underrepresented communities. Kang is a relative newcomer on the acting scene. Prior to landing the Batwoman role, her only major credit was a main role on the thriller You.

Elizabeth Anweis, who's set to play Kate's tough, savvy stepmother, is probably one of those faces you definitely recognize but might not be able to place immediately. Her résumé is packed with guest spots on shows like Pretty Little Liars, Twin Peaks, Grey's Anatomy, and more.

For fans of a certain age, Scott will always be Ever After's Prince Henry, but he's been working steadily in both film and television for the past couple of decades. He's set to play Jacob Kane, a former military colonel who wants to protect Gotham but harbors a dislike for vigilantism.
