It was a sad day for Supergirl fans when Floriana Lima exited the show, but it turns out she's staying put in the comic book TV show genre.

The actress is one of three new casts members to be confirmed for season two of The Punisher, as reported by Deadline.

Lima will be playing Krista Dumont, a psychotherapist for military veterans. She is described as compassionate, but smart and driven.
