In an interview with EW, Geoff Johns introduced the character in the series’ second season. “She is the perfect foil for Courtney because she is literally everything Courtney thought she was in season 1 — she is the daughter of a huge superhero, and she has this great power. So Courtney sees Jennie as kind of the perfect hero, what Courtney thought she was, and it makes Courtney, as she says, feel less than and she can’t help it, it just happens,” said Johns.
Up next, season two, episode two, set to air on August 17, 2021. Episode two, “Summer School: Chapter Two,” was directed by Andi Armaganian from a script by James Dale Robinson.
