What’s This TV Show About?
A DC Comics-inspired action-adventure drama airing on The CW television network, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist, Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, David Harewood, Katie McGrath, and Jesse Wrath. The series centers on Kara Zor-El (Benoist), the cousin of Kal-El, i.e. Superman (Tyler Hoechlin). To remain safe from Krypton’s destruction, Kara grew up on Earth, as Kara Danvers, a human. For years, she kept her powers a secret. Now, as an adult, she works at CatCo Worldwide Media and also for the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government organization whose mission is to keep National City – and the Earth – safe from sinister threats.

Telly’s Take
Will The CW cancel or renew Supergirl for season five? Sundays is a new night for The CW and, as expected, the ratings are down. The series is still doing well enough to be renewed so I predict it will return for a fifth season. I’ll update this page with any new developments. subscribe for free updates on any Supergirl cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Supergirl TV series has been renewed for a fifth season? How would you feel if The CW had cancelled this TV show, instead?
I hope it does get cancelled. The writing is getting extremely trite and they are trying to hard to bang people over the head with politics instead of knocking off bad guys and such. Supergirl herself is too mamby-pamby and honestly – the show is going downhill rapidly and just plain boring. Yawn!
I hope they keep it on because the show’s really cool.
Well if it is cancelled next year due to poor viewer numbers it’s hardly surprising. When you consider the thinly veiled political digs and identity politics nonsense, instead of actual good story telling with good writing!
Supergirl needs a season 5 so can bring back Maxwell Lord agin !
H,I I,M NEW HERE FIRST
Supergirl is the coolest most exciting action packed super entertaining hit television series currently on television by far the cast/crew of supergirl/everyone in the supergirl production office have done outstanding work on the show both the cast/crew of supergirl in front of/behind the camera as well as everyone in the supergirl production office behind the scenes who work w/the CW to promote the show supergirl should be renewed for a 5th season w/out a doubt!!!!
It’s bad when seasons 2, 3, and 4 have only had one good episode each. The show is close to its end. Batwoman should replace this show.
Love supergirl should be renew for another season should love a love interest
