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?
Please bring Supergirl back, the show is now settling in and getting better! It’s one of the few great family shows and Kara is positive role model. I love the blended family as well!
This is one of the best shows CBS has broadcasted. Keep Super girl around for many seasons!
Please do not cancel Supergirl it is the one show that brings my family together. It is great to see a show that can empower young people/girls that they can be anything.
I love supergirl! It’s a good clean family show I can watch with the kids. There aren’t many of those left any more especially that are a good role model for my girls! Please please keep this show going!
I WANT SUPER GIRL TO BE RENEWED BECAUSE ITS AN AWESOME SHOW AND YOUNG GIRLS AND TEENS NEED A SUPER HERO TO LOOK UP TO SO SUPER GIRL FITS THE ROLL
Yes, please, please renew supergirl. Our family really enjoys watching this show. Melissa Benoist and Calista Flockhart are so awesome. The dynamic between them keeps me entertained every week. When I heard it was possibly being cancelled I was shocked. I thought for sure a positive show like this would be loved by many. Especially knowing that there are so many DC comic fans. Please rally and save Supergirl. Please!
I’m a person who is not into series of movies but supergirl is one went through and valued because of its values. I love to see honor, integrity and honesty in the act as a model, for who then would model these in reality if non reveals it. It deserves more seasons to show considering the focal points of values that would continue to help young women. Except the part that girls run after boys. Let true manner of a women be preserved.
Definitely deserves a 2nd season, the acting is better than anything on TV right now, and I have enjoyed the series immensely.
It’s been great for our adopted daughter. There are so many parallels and lessons for her. We adopted her from Romania at 15. I’d hate to see the show go!
I sure hope Supergirl is renewed. My family loves it.
oh yeah !. a great show .i would love to see supergirl getting renewed for a second season. great acting by melissa benoist.
yes!!!! season 2 Supergirl is a great show.
Absolutely! Supergirl is one of the few series on TV that features a positive female role model. Melissa is a wonderful actress whose portrayal of this iconic superheroine inspires strength, vulnerability and courage. If CBS can’t fit these qualities into its schedule, then it is time for Supergirl to fly to the CW.
I love the show Supergirl!! I was always a big fan of Superman. I remember when they came out with the movie back in 1984!! This show needs to be renewed cause you just can’t get the whole story off of one season. If you don’t want it to be back on CBS at least put it on the CW with The Flash and The Arrow. You could put all three shows on the same night.
would love it to return. Needs a better time slot. It’s nice to see more programs with strong women in it.
