"Mistresses" alumna Jes Macallan has signed on for a recurring role in the third season of The CW’s superhero drama "DC’s Legends of Tomorrow".

She will play Special Agent Ava Sharpe, a hard working agent for a secret branch of the Federal Government (the Time Bureau) dedicated to the regulation of time-travel and the protection of history.

She is very smart and incredibly ambitious and always believes she is the smartest person in the room. She is often quite ruthless in obtaining her goals and her drive for perfection has left many discarded friendships (and relationships) in her wake.

"Legends of Tomorrow" Promotes Jes Macallan to Series Regular for Season 4
by Natalie Abrams
April 3, 2018

Following the news that "DC’s Legends of Tomorrow" has been renewed for a fourth season, EW can exclusively reveal that Jes Macallan has been promoted to series regular.

The actress joined the show at the top of season 3 as Time Bureau agent Ava Sharpe, who recently ascended to the head of the agency. The character, who became a love interest for Sara (Caity Lotz), was revealed to be a clone.

“Jes has a power to captivate in person as well as on screen. She had been guest-starring on Legends for all of two days when one of our teamsters, the guy who had been driving her to set, told me that we ought to make her a series regular. He wasn’t wrong,” executive producer Phil Klemmer tells EW.

“We knew that we wanted Sara to fall in love with someone in season 3, and our challenge was to come up with a character worthy of our fearless captain’s love — and then the second challenge was to find a performer capable of playing that part. The door had barely closed on Jes, having just finished her chemistry read with Caity Lotz, that we all turned to each other and agreed that we had found our Ava.”

Klemmer continues: “Her character arc was a bit of a slow burn this season, and yet each episode revealed a new facet of her character. She’s been alternately funny, poignant, engaging, endearing, and kick-ass this season — and yet I know for a fact that we haven’t hit all of Jes’s hidden gears as an actor.

We are lucky to have a whole new season in which to find them. It’s not every actor who can find the emotional heart of a storyline that features John Constantine, a chicken, and a severed human foot. Thank God we found Jes Macallan.”

Time Bureau’s director is staying in office. Jes Macallan, who plays Ava Sharpe on DC’s "Legends of Tomorrow", has closed a deal to return to the superhero drama as a series regular next season.

Macallan joined The CW series at the beginning of season 3 as Time Bureau agent Ava Sharpe who was subsequently promoted to the head of the agency. Macallan herself was promoted to a series regular at the start of Season 4 with a one-year deal.

She has now been extended with another one-year pact. Macallan’s character has been a love interest for Sara (Caity Lotz) and was revealed to be a clone.

“Jes has a power to captivate in person as well as on screen,” executive producer Phil Klemmer said at the time of Macallan’s promotion to series regular last year. The series already has been renewed for Season 5.
