Odette Annable is joining her Supergirl co-star Chris Wood in ABC's pilot thirtysomething(else), a sequel to the popular late-'80s/early-'90s drama thirtysomething. TV Guide has confirmed that Annable has been cast as the grown-up Janey Steadman, daughter of Hope (Mel Harris) and Michael (Ken Olin) and older sister of Leo (Wood).

Per Deadline, which first reported the news, the adult Janey is "a passionate, some might say driven, person, possessed of what her boyfriend, Brad, calls a very big engine in a very small car."
