Laura Benanti, who has played the character Alura since the Supergirl pilot has announced that she will be stepping down from the series. Smallville alumna Erica Durance is set as a recurring in the CW’s Supergirl.
“Unfortunately Laura, who Greg and I have worked with for years going back to Eli Stone, was unable to continue in the role due to work commitments in NY,” said executive producer Andrew Kreisberg.
“But we are so blessed that Erica has come aboard to offer her own interpretation of Kara’s mother. We had tremendous success with a former Lois Lane last season with Teri Hatcher. We know Erica will continue the proud tradition of legacy actors joining our shows and creating new and exciting takes on classic DC characters.”
Benanti addressed her departure on Twitter.
