Helping to round out that cast are two new actors joining the show! The first is actor Meg DeLacy, who recently appeared as Grace Mullen in Freeform’s The Fosters. DeLacy will be playing the most popular girl in school, Cindy Burman who is actually the daughter of the Dragon King (played by Nelson Lee). She is described as:
Blue Valley High’s most popular student… and its most feared. Secretly the daughter of Dragon King (played by Nelson Lee), a longtime enemy of the Justice Society of America, Cindy is determined to follow in her father’s footsteps.
Additionally joining the show is actor Austin Walker who is taking an undisclosed DC Comics character role. Austin Walker is an American actor from Mississippi best known for his work as Jared Talbot on the Peabody Award winning series Rectify. Recently Jake has appeared on Fear of the Walking Dead, Lethal Weapon and on the Facebook Watch series Five Points.
Greg Berlanti, Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter and Melissa Carter are executive producers of Stargirl, which is based on characters from DC which were created by Geoff Johns. The series is produced by Berlanti Productions and Mad Ghost Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Johns is writing the first episode and will serve as showrunner.
Just as a reminder, here is the series logline:
STARGIRL follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new drama reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series. The project focuses on the character that started executive producer Geoff Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister, who was killed in a 1996 plane explosion.
