The cliffhanger ending toBatwomanseason 2 left fans unsatisfied with the series of dramatic developments. However, Robin Givens has joined the cast of the third season as a character who may solve one of these dramatic cliffhanger moments.
Givens, known for her role as Sierra McCoy onThe CW’sRiverdale, has been announced to joinBatwomanseason 3 in the major role of a powerful CEO named Jada Jet. Per Deadline, the character is described with a very important detail: an elusive past that forced her to give up her first-born child.

Along with everything else that kept audiences on their toes during theBatwomanseason 2 finale, fans learned that Ryan Wilder’s (Javicia Leslie) mother, previously thought to have died in childbirth, is in fact alive. Although no details or person in the role were shown, it is very possible that Jada Jet is Ryan’s mother considering the provided for the character. Givens' character is also described as having a son and that she will do anything to protect her family.
If she is Ryan’s mother, will she accept and protect her too? It seems more than coincidental that theBatwomanseason 2 finaleended with the discovery of a missing living mother and season 3 will include a new mother with a missing adult child. Showrunner Caroline Dries already confirmed that in season 3, Ryan’s life will begin to expand and unfold as she makes new discoveries about herself. However, an introduction to her mother could prove to be just another obstacle for Ryan instead of a happy reunion.
Ryan was raised in foster care and also ripped away from her foster mother, leaving her with a feeling of emptiness. Her mother re-entering her life would be important to the character, but with Jada Jet so focused on her CEO role and son, where Ryan will fit in is uncertain. Leslie previously stated thatBatwomanseason 3 will open upa whole new world for her character and that the discussion of Ryan’s biological parents would be addressed in a tricky way.
