The show's producers Miles Millar and Al Gough worked with the actress and model on Smallville and are hoping to negotiate a deal with her in the New Year, the Sunday Mirror reports.
A source told the paper: "Al and Miles know Kelly from their time on Smallville and they think she is a star in the making.
"Rather than cast established stars, producers want to find less well-known actresses and turn them into household names - just like they did in the 1970s with Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith.
"Kelly fits the bill. She's gorgeous, feisty, athletic, a good actress and - most importantly - the producers think American viewers will love her."
