Deadline is reporting that DC Universe’s live-action Stargirl series has cast Hit the Floor alum Hina Khan. Exact details for her character weren’t released, though her IMDb says that she’s playing Anaya Bowin.
From Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti, and Sarah Schechter, Stargirl follows high school student Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) as she bands together with the Justice Society of America to fight villains of the past and present.
In addition to her role on the VH1/BET drama, Khan’s television credits include Station 19, I Feel Bad, and LA to Vegas. She joins a cast that includes Joel McHale (The Soup), Lou Ferrigno Jr. (SWAT), Anjelika Washington (Marvel’s Runaways), Yvette Monreal (Faking It), Christopher James Baker (Ozark), Joy Osmanski (Devious Maids), Neil Hopkins (Lost), Meg DeLacy (The Fosters), Jake Austin Walker (Rectify), and Nelson Lee (Sneaky Pete).
Scheduled to premiere later this year, Stargirl is part of a growing scripted slate for DC Universe that includes Titans, recently debuting Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, Young Justice: Outsiders, and Harley Quinn.
