Will Supergirl be back for another season? The cast and creators from the CBS series recently teased a possible renewal during a panel discussion at PaleyFest, Variety reports.
Produced by Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist, Calista Flockhart, and Chyler Leigh.
During the panel, Leigh spoke about the influence of Supergirl on younger female audiences:
I have two girls, and right before taking this job, my husband was really challenging me in the sense of, like, ‘Think about what this opportunity is and think about what it means to you and look at our little girls and if you don’t have a resounding yes then you’re crazy.’ For little girls, there’s so much on TV that is influential especially towards the younger ages. To be a part of something that’s telling a very powerful story in many different ways from many different perspectives, especially from a women’s standpoint but also from little girl’s standpoint, is rewarding.”
Berlanti also addressed the series’ upcoming crossover episode with The Flash, which airs on March 28th.
We needed to create a way to do it. We had to introduce Superman since you’ve heard about him and you’ve heard about Supergirl, but in worlds of ‘Arrow’ and ‘Flash,’ they didn’t exist in that world. We introduced the multiverse in ‘The Flash’ this year and that was always our way in.”
Finally, when asked if the series has been picked up for another season, Adler revealed little:
We’re excited to tell as many stories as the 75 years of the amazing DC canon will afford us to do — so 75 years, Les Moonves.”
What do you think? Do you watch Supergirl? Would you like another season?
I hope it’s renewed. My family loves it!! We will be so sad if it isn’t.
Supergirl is my favorite show. I am really enjoying it. Please renew it for a second season. Thank you!
Yes! I want Supergirl Season 2! Because she’s my hero & National City needs her for this season!
Please Renew. Supergirl is worth another season. Gives people a show that is worth watching every week. Has been a Long time since tv stations have given the public an action female hero and I dare say a show the entire family can watch together for the first time in many years.
Yes, every Monday with my daughter. We love the show
Yes I watch Supergirl every Monday on CBS all access then again on the weekend from me dvring it on Monday . Supergirl has gotten better every week and I am dying to see the Supergirl/Flash crossover and am hoping and praying for a second season so they can do a bigger crossover which would include Green Arrow. Greg and crew along with the cast of Supergirl has done a wonderful job bringing the Girl of Steel to life and I believe with a second full season they could do an even better job with the show. Even my son… Read more »
Yes! I would love to see Super Girl go another season! I enjoy watching the show.
I really enjoy the show. The plots are well written, and the acting is superb. I think it deserves to have a second season.
I definately want Supergirl renewed. I would also like it in a better time slot rather than between DWTS and The Voice.
I would love for supergirl to be renewed. I love comics, I’ve been following flash and Arrow but I prefer supergirl. I love the push & pull relationship with Cat and the fact that the show is diverse. I would like to see more of Alex personal life.
Supergirl is a quality show, from writing to special effects to the cast. It’s inspiring to women of all ages to see a female centric show with strong intelligent women who can overcome physical and emotional obstacles. At a time when all you see it hatred and negativity in the world we can certainly use all of the hope and light that Supergirl has in spades. CBS should renew or let the CW take her into their family of superhero shows.
Pleaaase renew this show. My daughter and I love it. It has really taken some interesting turns and we love having a solo female super hero.
I hope they bring it back for Season 2. But they need to do something about Cat Grant. Turn it down. There are a ton, of competent women CEO’s, that didn’t get to where they are in life, by being bullies. It’s a terrible message to send to the young girls out there. That in order to rise to the top of the business world, you need to act like a total tool? Other than, that, the show has impressed me, and I’m someone who has been reading comics, since I was 6 years old. 51 now. I’m happy for… Read more »
After the failures of female superhero movies and the resulting reluctance of the studios to make any more, Wonder Woman not withstanding, it would be a shame for CBS to cancel Supergirl and most likely shut the door for other female led superhero TV shows. CBS needs to renew Supergirl if for no other reason than that. But CBS needs to renew Supergirl because it is an excellent show.
Yes we need season 2 of supergirl and I enjoy it please renew it for 2016 2017.
