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, Calista Flockhart, Chris Wood, Floriana Lima, and Katie McGrath. 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.
Season Three Ratings
The third season of Supergirl averaged a 0.51 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.84 million viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 30% and down by 22%, respectively. Learn how Supergirl stacks up against the other CW TV shows.
Supergirl has been renewed for a fourth season which will debut October 14, 2018. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Let’s get real. In 2016-17, this series was the network’s second best performer in both the demo and total viewership. Unless someone douses it with Kryptonite, I don’t think it’s getting cancelled anytime too soon. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and will update this page with breaking developments, while I peruse my collection of takeout menus.

4/2/18 update: The CW has ordered a fourth season of Supergirl for the 2018-19 season. Details here.

Supergirl and cast should remain they are exceptional. Enjoy them all please keep the cast on!!!!
I want Haley to go. She’s annoying.
Did they change writers? The direction of the story has changed. Trying to push to many platforms. Go back to just entertainment
Loved the first season. endured the second season. stopped watching halfway into season 3 episode 1. Too many political agendas all leaning to one side. No thanks.
they way it end with Mon-El and Winn leaving to go to the future i hope that means there the be some type of new spin off i hope it will be a legion spin off or return for a fourth season of supergirl..
I agree and I think the third season was the best there should be an episode we’re lena and the world finds out that Kara is supergirl
Well I was a huge fan but had to stop watching episode 319 due to the racism agenda once again being exploited and shoved down our throats! SERIOUSLY?!!!! I watch make believe so I don’t have deal with all the ugly!!!! You can’t change the past and constantly bringing it up will NEVER allow the world to progress and move forward!!! How about showing more love and how ppl get along! I hope the series is cancelled! Way to ruin it!
No I don’t think so
i want morre episodes
that is amazing if it got renewed
Supergirl is the worst. Super-entitled-whiny-millennial-girl is more like it. Such a crybaby. Cancel it. Cancel it with a vengeance!
Best, most accurate description of the show. Cancel it.
Good show. I’d like to see it renewed. No warning; you people just pull shows off whenever you want! “break for holidays”; holidays have been over for a long time! You could at least have told folks it would be back on after a break like other stations did with their shows. I am really pissed about that!
Supergirl has finally been renewed.
really
