Actress Peta Sergeant Joins "Supergirl" Season 6 Cast
Actress Peta Sergeant has joined the cast of the sixth and final season of "Supergirl" as a new series regular named Nyxly.
The character is described as a quirky and kind 5th Dimensional Imp who was wrongly imprisoned in the Phantom Zone and driven by tragic backstory. She helps Kara when she least expects it, and their budding friendship not only heals some of Nyxly's emotional pain, but helps Nyxly reclaim her own power.
The new character is heavily inspired by iconic DC Comics villain/antihero, Mister Mxyzptlk who was created by Superman co-creators Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster and first appeared in the 1940 comic book, Superman #30.
Sergeant is best known for her starring roles on such television series as "Snowfall" in the role of Julia and "The Originals" as Francesca Correa. She also portrayed the role of the Jabberwocky in the ABC television series "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" and had recurring roles in the Australian series "Winners & Losers" as Cat Johnson and "Last Man Standing" as Janessa.
"Supergirl" airs at 9:00PM (ET) on Tuesday evenings on the CW.
