"Chicago P.D.’s" Lisseth Chavez is set as a new series regular in the upcoming sixth season of The CW’s "DC’s Legends of Tomorrow".

The superhero drama moved in to cast Chavez shortly after she became available following a season-long stint as a series regular on NBC’s "Chicago P.D."




Chavez will play Esperanza “Spooner” Cruz. Tough and self-sufficient, Spooner Cruz lives off the grid, devising ingenious tech for the detection of — and defense against — space aliens. And while some might call her paranoid, she calls it being prepared.

A survivor of a childhood alien encounter, Spooner now believes she has the ability to communicate telepathically with aliens — making her the perfect recruit for Waverider captains Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) and the Legends who, in season six, will be hunting down extraterrestrials who have been displaced throughout history.




Exec producer Grainne Godfrey, speaking on the Legends DC Fandome panel, said, “She is a young Latinx woman from Texas, who was kidnapped by aliens and has a third for vengeance.

She’s not going to be the loveable losers that we normally have, she’s going to be pretty tough and gives it to the other Legends and they’re going to have to react to her and I think it’s going to throw them off their feet a little bit.”
