Moving to The CW isn’t the only change for Supergirl. The Wrap reports cast member Calista Flockhart may not be a series regular for season two.
During season one, Flockhart played Kara’s (Melissa Benoist) boss, media conglomerate chief Cat Grant.
Because Supergirl is moving to the CW, season two production is also being moved, from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Apparently, the location change has made Flockhart’s status uncertain. At this week’s upfront presentation, CW boss Mark Pedowitz mentioned they are still negotiating her availability. He said, “We’re happy to have her in whatever capacity is worked out.”
Season two is slated to premiere this fall.
What do you think? Did you watch season one of Supergirl? Will you watch season two on The CW?
Vancouver is not that far. I hope calista returns … interaction between her and super girl (Kara) is fantastic and enjoyable viewing. Catco needs Calista. !!!!!

NOOOOOOOO Calista Flockhart is my favorite.. It just will not be the same. Please fine a way to make it work..
I totally agree with the other commenters about the need for keeping Calista Flockheart in the cast.

It is sometimes VERY good. It’s never terrible or un-watchable. Keeps me watching and that’s not so easy since I tend to ‘surf’ when I… Read more »
They gave the option of less or no Cat Grant by Kara not being Cat’s assistant and the end of the last episode.
For me… Calista Flockhart is a huge reason that Supergirl works, obviously not the only one… But a HUGE part of it nonetheless. I hope CBS Studios is doing whatever it takes to make sure she stays an integral part of the show!
I hope she stays with the series, love her in this role, she is so great as Cat, I think it wouldn’t be the same without her, I hope they can talk her into staying.
