"Arrow" star Katie Cassidy is crossing over to "The Flash" later this season. She's set to guest star in the penultimate episode of "The Flash" season 2, playing the Earth-2 version of Laurel Lance, so executive producer Marc Guggenheim revealed at a press screening on Monday, April 4.

"You will see her on an episode of 'The Flash' playing the Earth-2 version of Laurel Lance," he said. However, on Earth-2 Laurel doesn't go by Black Canary. On this alternate Earth, she is known as Black Siren.

In the comic books, Black Siren is the alter ego of Donna Nance and is based on the Golden Age version of Black Canary. She is the only female member of the Justice Guild of America.

Cassidy isn't only slated to appear on "The Flash", but she's also going to lend her voice on the animated "Vixen" as Earth-1's Laurel Lance in season 2.

"The Flash" airs Tuesday at 8 P.M. ET on The CW.
