After months of rumors, CBS made it official today. Barry Allen from The Flash on The CW will be crossing over to visit Supergirl on CBS. The big episode will take place on March 28th. No word on if/when the girl of steel will make an appearance on the scarlet speedster’s show.
Here’s the press release:
THE FLASH (GRANT GUSTIN) WILL CROSS OVER TO JOIN FORCES WITH SUPERGIRL (MELISSA BENOIST) IN AN EPISODE OF “SUPERGIRL,” MONDAY, MARCH 28 ON CBS
The Flash is speeding to National City! THE FLASH star Grant Gustin, in his role of Barry Allen/The Flash, will cross over to SUPERGIRL in an episode to be broadcast Monday, March 28 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Details of the episode will be announced at a later date.
“We are so incredibly excited to announce something that we have dreamed of happening since we starting making SUPERGIRL – THE FLASH and SUPERGIRL are teaming up!” said THE FLASH and SUPERGIRL Executive Producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg. “We want to thank Grant Gustin for making the time to come visit (on top of his already immense workload) and all of the folks at CBS, The CW, Warner Bros. and DC for working this out. And finally, thanks to the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen. It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone’s enthusiasm and support.”

The series is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler, Andrew Kreisberg and Sarah Schechter are the executive producers of SUPERGIRL, based on the characters appearing in DC Comics, and created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, by special arrangement with the Jerry Siegel Family.

What do you think? Are you surprised that a CW character will be visiting a CBS show? Will you be tuning in?
Considering the fact that “Supergirl”‘s March 28 episode is the 18th episode of the season, judging by the front cover of the episode’s script, when is the season finale of “Supergirl” going to air?
I’d guess sometime in April. Either the 11th or 18th depending on if they have a special on one of those Mondays.
Supergirl can’t be set in Earth-2. It must be set in Earth-3.
But Earth 3 is where Superwoman lives.
I hope the snoozeville called super girl don’t bring down The Flash.
Will be cool for sure… Surprisingly tho, I’ve been liking the more heartfelt ‘feels’ approach of Supergirl over The Flash, although the upcoming visit to Earth-2 should be interesting!
I agree. I love the Flash but it’s getting a bit along the lines of darkness ala Arrow/Batman. With series like Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Arrow and to a lesser degree Flash being dark I love we have a lighter series in Supergirl. Much different than the other series.
The Flash and Supergirl are my two favorite dc tv series right now followed by DC Legends if Tomorrow then Arrow
Yea! Crossover of two great shows. I can’t wait.
