Series overview[edit]
Supergirl Season 2 Episode 1
Kara Zor-El was sent to Earth from Krypton as a 13-year-old by her parents Zor-El and Alura. Krypton was exploding, and Kara's parents sent Kara in a spacecraft to Earth after her cousin. Kara was meant to protect her infant cousin Kal-El, but her spacecraft was knocked off course and forced into the Phantom Zone, where it stayed for 24 years. By the time the spacecraft crash landed on Earth, Kal-El had grown up and become Superman. The series begins eleven years later when the now 24-year-old Kara is learning to embrace her powers and has adopted the superheroic alias 'Supergirl'.[1]
In the first season, Kara is forced to reveal her powers, and becomes National City's protector.[2] Kara discovers that hundreds of the criminals her mother imprisoned are hiding on Earth, including her aunt Astra and Astra's husband Non. Kara works with her adoptive sister Alex Danvers to fight these criminals, alongside the Green Martian J'onn J'onzz, her cousin's friend James Olsen, and tech genius Winn Schott, Jr.
In the second season, Kara and her allies deal with feuds between Earth's native populace and extraterrestrial community, and investigate the shadowy organization Project Cadmus, masterminded by Lillian Luthor, mother of Lex Luthor. At the same time, Kara befriends Lillian's stepdaughter Lena Luthor, the new CEO of LuthorCorp, and struggles with romantic feelings for recent Earth arrival Mon-El, a princely survivor from Krypton's neighboring planet Daxam whose parents wish to reclaim him. James becomes the masked streetfighting vigilante Guardian; Alex begins dating Maggie Sawyer; and J'onn befriends a younger Martian, M'gann, from the White Martian race that killed his people.
In the third season, Kara struggles with the loss of Mon-El after he is forced to leave Earth. When Mon-El returns, he reveals that he has time-traveled to the 31st century and founded the Legion, alongside marrying Imra Ardeen. J'onn discovers his father M'yrnn J'onzz is alive and Alex deals with her heartbreak after breaking up with Maggie. Kara and Alex's new friend, Samantha Arias, is unknowingly another Kryptonian survivor, and begins a transformation from a loving single mother into the world-killing weapon known as Reign, who serves a coven headed by Selena.
In the fourth season, Kara deals with a new wave of anti-extraterrestrial bigotry secretly instigated by Lex Luthor from prison, forcing her to fight for civil and political rights. Ben Lockwood rises to put a stop to aliens after being traumatised from a series of past alien invasions by forming a cult known as the Children of Liberty who decide to kill aliens. Meanwhile, in the nation of Kasnia, a clone of Kara whom Lex names 'Red Daughter' is being trained by its military to fight Supergirl as part of Luthor's complex scheme. Kara and Alex rival with the DEO's new addition, Col. Lauren Haley, who was sent to monitor the DEO's progress under Alex's direction. Col. Haley and the President try to force Supergirl to reveal her identity, and clash with her and Alex when she refuses.

Cast and characters[edit]
- Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers / Kara Zor-El / Supergirl:
A 24-year-old Kryptonian living in National City, who must embrace her powers after previously hiding them. She assists her adoptive sister as part of the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO) as she discovered the truth that her adoptive father also worked for the DEO so they would not take her, while Alex's co-workers at the DEO help her perfect her powers.[1][7][8] Kara worked as Cat Grant's assistant at CatCo.[9] Benoist expressed her excitement over portraying the character, and being able to '[tell] a story about a human being really realizing their potential and their strength'.[10] At the end of season one, Kara was promoted by Cat and became a junior reporter at the beginning of season two. Malina Weissman (seasons 1 and 2) and Izabela Vidovic (seasons 3 and 4) portray a young Kara.[11][12] - Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen:
A former Daily Planet photographer, James moved to National City and became the new art director for his former colleague, Cat Grant, at CatCo Worldwide Media. He is initially a potential love interest for Kara.[8][9][13] Among his reasons for moving across the country are his breakup with his fiancée, Lucy Lane,[14] and keeping an eye on the newly revealed Supergirl for Superman. While working at the Daily Planet, James received the Pulitzer Prize for taking the first photograph of Superman. In the second season, James becomes Guardian.[15] He also becomes the acting CEO of CatCo after Cat Grant takes a leave of absence. - Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers:
Kara's human adoptive sister. She is a scientist and government agent who serves as Hank Henshaw's right-hand at the DEO.[9][16][17] Having been extensively trained in combat by Henshaw, Alex in turn provides rigorous training to Kara in order to decrease her over-reliance on her powers. She and Kara grow suspicious of the DEO upon learning that their missing father was forced to work there in order to protect Kara, but Alex ultimately learns that Henshaw is really the Martian survivor J'onn J'onzz in disguise, whom her late father had rescued before his and the real Henshaw's apparent deaths. In season two, Alex learns that her father is alive and searches for him. She also meets and befriends police detective Maggie Sawyer and begins to develop feelings for her, forcing Alex to confront her sexuality. Jordan Mazarati and Olivia Nikkanen portray a young Alex.[18][12] At the end of season three, Alex becomes the new director of the DEO. - Jeremy Jordan as Winslow 'Winn' Schott, Jr.:
A tech expert who worked alongside Kara at CatCo, he is Kara's best friend and serves as one of her allies, helping her develop her costume and aiding her in her adventures. Winn has unrequited feelings for Kara and is a rival with James for her affection. However, at the end of 'For the Girl Who Has Everything', Winn has accepted that it is best that they remain as best friends, and in 'Solitude', he begins seeing Cat Grant's new assistant, who is also Kara's rival; Siobhan Smythe, who is subsequently fired by Cat and who, in 'Worlds Finest', becomes a supernatural metahuman supervillain called Silver Banshee. In the series, he is the son of Toyman.[9][19][20] Cat nicknames him Toyman Junior after she finds out.[21] In season two, Winn left CatCo to work at the DEO as a desk agent. He also works with James Olsen as his vigilante partner. At the end of season 3, he left for the future with Mon-El and joined the Legion of Superheroes. - David Harewood as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter:
The head of the DEO who takes Hank Henshaw's likeness after Henshaw is killed in Peru while hunting J'onn. J'onn takes Henshaw's likeness in order to reform the DEO from within as well as to watch over Alex and Kara.[9][16] The evolution of Henshaw was discussed during the filming of the pilot, with the executive producers jokingly saying that Harewood would be a good actor to play the Martian Manhunter in a potential television series, to which DC Comics' Geoff Johns asked why it could not be done in Supergirl. Harewood reflected that he had difficulty 'find[ing] an angle to play Hank Henshaw' in the pilot, and became excited when he was told about the change to his character's backstory.[22] Harewood also recurs in the series as the real Hank Henshaw, who becomes Cyborg Superman.[23] - Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant:
The outwardly shallow and superficial founder of the media conglomerate CatCo Worldwide Media, who feels, since she 'branded' Kara as 'Supergirl', that she has proprietary custody over the new hero.[9][24] Before she founded CatCo, she was a gossip columnist at the Daily Planet, and before that, the personal assistant to the Daily Planet's Editor-in-Chief, Perry White. Cat investigates and reveals that Supergirl is Superman's cousin, which then causes Kara to become a target for some of Superman's rogues gallery. Cat also serves as a mentor to Kara, dispensing advice about being a woman in a man's world. In the episode 'Hostile Takeover', she suspects that Kara is Supergirl. In the second episode of season two, Cat announces she is taking a leave of absence from CatCo, leaving James to run the company in her stead. In season three, she became the White House Press Secretary for President Olivia Marsdin. - Chris Wood as Mon-El:
A prince from the planet Daxam with similar powers to Superman and Supergirl, Mon-El lands on Earth in the pod at the end of season one.[25][26][27] - Floriana Lima as Maggie Sawyer:
A detective for the National City Police Department who takes a special interest in the cases involving aliens and metahumans.[28] Lima became a recurring actress for the third season, departing in the season's fifth episode. Lima noted the role was only intended to last for one season.[29] - Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor:[30]
The CEO of L-Corp (formerly known as Luthor Corp) and the younger paternal half-sister of Lex Luthor. She arrives in National City after Lex has been incarcerated, hoping to rebrand Luthor Corp as a force for good.[31] As the daughter of Lionel Luthor, to whom she is close, Lena tries to redeem her family name after Lex's crimes have tarnished it and to break from her half-brother and step-mother's legacy. Initially, she believed that she was the adopted daughter of Lionel and Lillian Luthor, but Lena learns that she is actually Lionel's illegitimate child from his extramarital affair. Lena meets Kara after Kara is assigned to interview Lena about L-Corp. Shortly after, the two develop a strong friendship. Camille Marty portrays a young Lena.[32] - Odette Annable as Samantha Arias / Reign:
Another Kryptonian sent to Earth as an infant and single mother to her daughter Ruby. Samantha's villainous alternate personality, Reign, emerges in the middle of season 3, but she is unaware of it and her alter ego's actions.[33][34] - Jesse Rath as Querl 'Brainy' Dox / Brainiac 5:
A half-A.I., half-organic 12th-level intellect and member of the Legion of Superheroes from the planet Colu in the 31st Century.[35] - Sam Witwer as Benjamin Lockwood / Agent Liberty:

Production[edit]
Development[edit]
By September 2014, Warner Bros. Television was looking to create a television series centered around Supergirl. Executive producers for the series include Greg Berlanti (also a creator/producer for Arrow and The Flash), Ali Adler, who are both writing the script, and Berlanti Productions' Sarah Schechter. DC Comics' Geoff Johns is also expected to be part of the project. Titles under consideration for the series included Super and Girl.[38] Berlanti confirmed the show shortly after, and stated it was in development and had yet to be pitched to networks.[39] On September 20, it was announced that CBS had landed Supergirl with a series commitment,[1] with an expected premiere in 2015 of the 2015–16 television season.[24] In January 2015, CBS Entertainment Chairman Nina Tassler revealed the show would be a procedural, saying, 'There will be [crime] cases, but what [executive producers] Ali Adler and Greg Berlanti pitched was a real series arc for her. The beauty of it is now with shows like The Good Wife and Madam Secretary, you can have serialized story elements woven into a case of the week. She's a crime solver, so she's going to have to solve a crime.'[40]
In January 2015, it was announced by The Hollywood Reporter that Melissa Benoist would star as Supergirl.[41] Benoist later revealed that auditioning for the part 'was a long, drawn-out, three-month process';[42] she was the first actress looked at for the role,[43] although Claire Holt and Gemma Atkinson were also considered.[44][45][46] In March 2015, Blake Neely, composer for Arrow and The Flash, revealed he would be composing for Supergirl.[47] The show was officially picked up to series on May 6, 2015.[48] It was originally set to premiere in November 2015,[49] before being moved up to October 26, 2015.[50] The pilot episode was screened at San Diego Comic-Con International 2015 on July 8 and 11, 2015.[51] In July 2015, Adler spoke on how much influence Superman would have on the show, saying, 'Our prototype is the way the president is seen on Veep. It's certainly [inspired by] so much of what Julia Louis-Dreyfus' character goes through. Ultimately, this is a show about Supergirl and we really want to see it through her lens.'[52] On November 30, 2015, CBS ordered an additional seven episodes of Supergirl, for a full season of 20 episodes.[53]
On May 12, 2016, Warner Bros. Television announced that the series had been renewed for a second season of 22 episodes and would move to The CW.[54][55] The season debuted in October 2016.[56] With the move of the production to Vancouver, it was unclear if Calista Flockhart would remain with the series, as her original contract stipulated that she work near her home in Los Angeles. The CW president Mark Pedowitz said Flockhart wanted to remain with the series and that 'We're in ongoing discussions... we're happy to have her in [in whatever capacity] works out.'[57] Flockhart ultimately reached a deal to be recurring in the second season, with the production flying her to Vancouver every few weeks to film material.[58]
On January 8, 2017, The CW renewed the series for a third season,[59] which debuted on October 9, 2017.[60] The third season saw Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner become the series' executive producers and co-showrunners along with Kreisberg until his firing, following Adler's departure; Adler will remain an executive consultant for the series. Both Queller and Rovner joined Supergirl midway through the first season as co-executive producer and consulting producer, respectively, with Rovner promoted to executive producer ahead of the second season.[61]
On April 2, 2018, The CW renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on October 14, 2018.[62][63] On January 31, 2019, The CW renewed the series for a fifth season.[64]
Design[edit]
The costume for Supergirl was created by Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for Arrow and The Flash.[40] Benoist stated that she is aware of the costume worn by Kara in more modern depictions of in the comics, and expressed that the 'micro-mini hemline' of the skirt in the version created by Michael Turner could be 'a little daunting ... but that's good. I like being pushed.'[10] Promotional photos of Benoist wearing Atwood's design were released on March 6, 2015. Atwood indicated that she wanted to 'embrace the past ... but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today.'[65][66] Atwood later revealed details about the costume such as the cape being fastened to an undersuit so as not to pull the costume and that the fabric used was Eurojersey.[67] The reveal of the Martian Manhunter costume in 'Human For a Day' was created through visual effects, though a physical version was created to appear in later episodes, with it proving to be one of the most challenging costumes for the costume team.[22]
Reception of the Supergirl costume upon its reveal was mixed. Entertainment Weekly's Natalie Abrams commented that the new look of the costume looks and feels different in a good way. The new costume avoids exposing the character's midriff, as it does in the Michael Turner version of the costume from the comics, as well as having Benoist wear stockings underneath the skirt with over-the-knee boots. Abrams compared the texture of the costume to that worn by Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel, as well as the positioning of the cape on the suit, and the decision to do away with the bright blue and red color scheme.[68] Andrew Dyce, from Screen Rant, found the new costume to perfectly balance itself between classic nostalgia and modernism.[69]The Washington Post noted that Atwood's design was successful, praising her ability to take 'cartoon-y tints' and moving them to darker tones.[70]
E! Online was less impressed with the design, negatively comparing it to a 'cheap Halloween costume', with washed out colors, and not buying into the 'gritty, 'street style' look Atwood was intending.[71]TV Guide questioned Atwood's design, and noted that although the promotional image has Benoist trying to appear as a powerful hero, the thigh-high boots and pleated skirt comes across as a 'model advertising a moderately-priced Halloween costume'.[72]
Filming[edit]
In February 2015, it was announced that Andrew Kreisberg, co-creator of Arrow and The Flash, had joined the series as a writer and executive producer;[16] and Arrow / The Flash and Smallville alum Glen Winter was announced to be directing the pilot.[73]Principal photography for the pilot took place from March 4[74] to March 29, 2015.[75] Filming locations included the Warner Bros. lot, where Lois and Clark was shot.[76] Each episode cost approximately $3 million to broadcast, which is one of the highest license fees ever for a first year show.[77]
The second season was filmed in Vancouver, rather than Los Angeles where the first season was shot. This was done to reduce the high production costs of the series, one of the issues that made CBS wary to renew the series on their network.[54] Filming for the third season began in Vancouver on July 6, 2017, and ended on April 28, 2018.[78]
Broadcast[edit]
In Canada, Supergirl aired in a sim-subbedsimulcast on Global with the American broadcast in the first season;[79] the second season saw it move to Showcase in the same arrangement.[80]
The series premiered on October 29, 2015, in the United Kingdom on Sky One.[81] The series premiered in Australia on December 6, 2015, on FOX8.[82]
