Season Three of the CW drama has cast Bridget Regan to play Poison Ivy. 

Multiple outlets confirm that Batwoman has tapped Regan to play Pamela Isley, aka Poison Ivy, for the series’ upcoming third season. She will star opposite lead Javicia Leslie.

Regan’s Poison Ivy is a former botany student of Gotham University described as a passionate, brilliant scientist with a mind for changing the world for the better. But everything changes when she was experimented on by a colleague, injected with various plant toxins which turned her into the infamous villain. With a formidable power coursing through her veins, Pamela used her powers to do what she thought was right, even if Batman and those closest to her disagreed with her dangerous methods. Now effectively wiped off the board for years, Batwoman and the Bat Team must prepare themselves for Poison Ivy to return with a vengeance.

Regan joins newcomers Nick Creegan and Victoria Caragena, who will appear as Marquis Jet and Renee Montoya, respectively as well as returning stars Rachel Skarsten, Meagan Tandy, Nicole Kang, and Camrus Johnson. 

Regan’s credits include Jane the Virgin, The Last Ship, Beauty and the Beast, and more.
