Supergirl is an American television series developed by Ali Adler, Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, that airs on CBS. It is based on the DC Comics character Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, and stars Melissa Benoist as the title character. Supergirl is a costumed superheroine who is the biological cousin to Superman and one of the last surviving Kryptonians. The series was officially picked up on May 6, 2015 after receiving a series commitment in September 2014, and premiered on October 26, 2015. Supergirl received a full season order of 20 episodes on November 30, 2015.

Premise

Twenty-four-year-old Kara Zor-El (Benoist), who was taken in by the Danvers family when she was 13 after being sent away from Krypton, must learn to embrace her powers after previously hiding them. The Danvers family teaches Kara to be careful with her powers, until she has to reveal them during an unexpected disaster, setting her on her journey of heroism even when it comes to protecting National City. Kara discovers that hundreds of the criminals her mother Alura Zor-El (Laura Benanti) prosecuted on Krypton are hiding on Earth, including her mother's twin sister Astra (also played by Benanti), who seeks to rule the world. In addition, Kara learns that her new ally, Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), may have secret agendas of his own. She is also being targeted by Earth's criminals as the result of her relation to another Kryptonian survivor: Superman. She is aided by a few close friends and family who guard her secrets, which also serves as a major plot in high tech mogul Maxwell Lord's (Peter Facinelli) scheme to expose Kara's identity.

Cast and characters

Main

• Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El / Kara Danvers / Supergirl:

A 24-year-old Kryptonian living in National City who must embrace her powers after previously hiding them. She assists her adoptive sister as part of the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO) as she discovered the truth that her foster father also work for the DEO so they would not take her, while her co-workers help her perfect her powers. She is Cat Grant's assistant at CatCo. Benoist expressed her excitement over portraying the character, and being able to "(tell) a story about a human being really realizing their potential and their strength". Claire Holt and Gemma Atkinson were considered for the role. Malina Weissman portrays a young Kara.

• Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen:

A former Daily Planet photographer living and working in National City for Cat Grant as her new Art Director and potential love interest for Kara.

• Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers:

Kara's adoptive sister. She is a doctor and scientist and works for Henshaw at the DEO. Jordan Mazarati plays a young Alex. Having been trained in extensive combat after joining the DEO, Alex tasked herself in providing rigorous training to Kara in order to minimize her reliance on her powers. Like Kara, she becomes suspicious of the DEO and thus her own role upon learning of their father having worked there in order to protect Kara.

• Jeremy Jordan as Winslow "Winn" Schott, Jr.:

A tech expert who works alongside Kara at CatCo. He shares the name with the DC Comics character Toyman, who happens to be his father. Winn serves as an ally to Supergirl and he helps her develop the costume that can withstand the velocity of her speed and establish a safe house hidden at CatCo, and another love interest for Kara besides James Olsen and thus his rival for her affection.

• David Harewood as Hank Henshaw:

A former CIA agent and current head of the DEO, who goes on high alert when Supergirl reveals herself, worried that her otherworldly abilities pose a threat to humankind. However, he also has a secret, as his eyes can glow red, indicating he is more than human. He also employed Kara and Alex's father in exchange for Kara's safety.

• Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant:

The shallow and superficial founder of the media conglomerate CatCo, who feels, since she "branded" Kara as "Supergirl", that she has proprietary custody over the new hero. Formerly a Daily Planet gossip columnist prior to founding CatCo, Cat investigates and reveals that Supergirl is Superman's cousin, which then causes her to become a target for some of Superman's enemies.

Recurring

• Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El / Astra: Kara's biological mother and aunt, respectively. Alura's guidance proves invaluable in Kara's journey, while Astra plots to rule the Earth and targets Kara for revenge against her mother.
• Helen Slater as Eliza Danvers:

A scientist and Kara's foster mother, who is more protective of Kara than with Alex. She was the one who told Kara and Alex about her husband working with the DEO in order to protect Kara and warns them about Hank as he is not to be trusted because of his involvement in Jeremiah's death. Slater portrayed Supergirl in the 1984 film and Lara-El in the television series Smallville.

• Dean Cain as Jeremiah Danvers:

A scientist and Kara's foster father, who offered his services to the DEO by working with Hank in order to protect Kara, but later died under mysterious circumstances. Cain portrayed Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

• Peter Facinelli as Maxwell Lord: A tech mogul who is fascinated by Supergirl. Lord deduces that Supergirl has a secret identity and is determined to learn it at any cost, becoming her enemy in the process.
• Jenna Dewan-Tatum as Lucy Lane: The younger sister of Lois Lane and James' ex-fiancée. She is also a major in the United States Army's Judge Advocate General Corps.
• Glenn Morshower as Sam Lane: A powerful military general and overprotective father to both Lucy and Lois whose arrival in National City stirs up trouble for Supergirl when he enlists her in a dangerous government initiative.
• Chris Vance as Non:

A former scientist in league with the House of El and a brutal Kryptonian military officer who is sinister, powerful and angry – the antithesis of all things Supergirl stands for. He will quickly become her greatest threat.

• Blake Jenner as Adam Foster. He has a history with Cat Grant and will serve as Kara's potential love interest and thus another rival for James and Winn. Jenner is Benoist's real-life husband.

Beginning in the 13th episode, a teenage Clark Kent will be shown in flashbacks that will establish his cherished bond with Kara.

Guest stars

• Robert Gant as Zor-El: Kara's biological father.
• Faran Tahir as The Commander: An alien military expert who's leading the forces aligned against Supergirl.
• Owain Yeoman as Vartox: An alien convict who has been hiding on Earth for the past twelve years and seeks a battle with Supergirl after she emerges.
• Justice Leak as Hellgrammite: An alien escapee from Fort Rozz, based on the DC Comics character Hellgrammite.
• Chris Browning as Ben Krull / Reactron: An enemy of Superman who decides to get revenge on him by trying to kill Supergirl as payback for his wife's death.
• Brit Morgan as Leslie Willis / Livewire: A confident, abrasive and funny shock-jock who works for CatCo and becomes as dangerous and shocking as her words following an accident.
• Levi Miller as Carter Grant: The son of Cat Grant who is sensitive, shy and has a crush on Supergirl, which he confesses to his babysitter Kara.
• Iddo Goldberg as T. O. Morrow / Red Tornado: An android designed by Morrow as the ultimate super-weapon that gains sentience.
• Joan Juliet Buck as Katherine Grant: Cat Grant's mother.
• Henry Czerny as Winslow Schott, Sr. / Toyman: A mad criminal genius and Winn's estranged father who weaponizes toys to wreak destruction.
• Emma Caulfield as Cameron Chase: A stern, no holds barred FBI agent dedicated to law enforcement following her father's violent murder.
• Tawny Cypress as Miranda Crane: A senator who uses her anti-alien beliefs to gain votes, but is forced to turn to Supergirl for help when her visit to National City is interrupted by an alien attack.
• Charles Halford as Jemm: An alien prisoner who uses the gemstone embedded in his forehead to manipulate people's emotions.

Episodes

Steve Shill will direct an episode in the season. Due to the November 2015 Paris attacks, the episode "How Does She Do It?", originally scheduled to air on November 16, 2015 as the fourth episode of the season, was pulled from air, due to content in the episode that was similar to the events. In its place, the episode "Livewire" was aired, which was originally scheduled to air as the fifth episode on November 23, 2015. "How Does She Do It?" was later scheduled to air as the fifth episode on that date.

Production

Development

By September 2014, Warner Bros. Television was looking to create a television series centered around Supergirl. Executive producers for the series include Greg Berlanti (also a creator/producer for Arrow and The Flash), Ali Adler, who are both writing the script, and Berlanti Productions' Sarah Schechter. DC Comics' Geoff Johns is also expected to be part of the project. Titles under consideration for the series included Super and Girl. Berlanti confirmed the show shortly after, and stated it was in development and had yet to be pitched to networks. On September 19, it was announced that CBS had landed Supergirl with a series commitment, with an expected premiere in 2015 of the 2015–16 television season. In January 2015, CBS Entertainment Chairman Nina Tassler revealed the show would be a procedural, saying, "There will be cases, but what Ali Adler and Greg Berlanti pitched was a real series arc for her. The beauty of it is now with shows like The Good Wife and Madam Secretary, you can have serialized story elements woven into a case of the week. She's a crime solver, so she's going to have to solve a crime."

In January 2015, it was announced by The Hollywood Reporter that Melissa Benoist would star as Supergirl. Benoist later revealed that auditioning for the part "was a long, drawn-out, three-month process"; she was the first actress looked at for the role.

In March 2015, Blake Neely, composer for Arrow and The Flash, revealed he would be composing for Supergirl. The show was officially picked up to series on May 6, 2015. It was originally set to premiere in November 2015, before being moved up to October 26, 2015. The pilot episode was screened at San Diego Comic-Con International 2015 on July 8 and 11, 2015.

In July 2015, Adler spoke on how much influence Superman would have on the show, saying, "Our prototype is the way the president is seen on Veep. It's certainly so much of what Julia Louis-Dreyfus' character goes through. Ultimately, this is a show about Supergirl and we really want to see it through her lens." On November 30, 2015, CBS ordered an additional seven episodes of Supergirl, for a full season of 20 episodes.

Design

The costume for Supergirl was created by Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for Arrow and The Flash. Benoist stated that she is aware of the costume worn by Kara in the comic books, and expressed that the "micro-mini hemline" of the skirt could be "a little daunting but that's good. I like being pushed." Promotional photos of Benoist wearing Atwood's design were released on March 6, 2015. Atwood indicated that she wanted to "embrace the past but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today." Atwood later revealed details about the costume such as the cape being fastened to an undersuit as not to pull the costume and that the fabric used was Eurojersey.

Reception of the costume upon its reveal was mixed. Entertainment Weekly's Natalie Abrams commented that the new look of the costume looks and feels different in a good way. The new costume avoids exposing the character's midriff, as it does in the comic books, as well as having Benoist wear stockings underneath the skirt with knee-high boots. Abrams compared the texture of the costume to that worn by Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel, as well as the positioning of the cape on the suit, and the decision to do away with the bright blue and red color scheme. Andrew Dyce, from Screen Rant, found the new costume to perfectly balance itself between classic nostalgia and modernism. The Washington Post noted that Atwood's design was successful, praising her ability to take "cartoon-y tints" and moving them to darker tones.

E! Online was less impressed with the design, negatively comparing it to a "cheap Halloween costume", with washed out colors, and not buying into the "gritty, 'street style'" look Atwood was intending. TV Guide questioned Atwood's design, and noted that although the promotional image has Benoist trying to appear as a powerful hero, the thigh-high boots and pleated skirt comes across as a "model advertising a moderately-priced Halloween costume".

Filming

In February 2015, it was announced that Andrew Kreisberg, co-creator of Arrow and The Flash, had joined the series as a writer and executive producer; and Arrow / The Flash and Smallville alum Glen Winter was announced to be directing the pilot. Principal photography for the pilot took place from March 4 to March 29, 2015. Filming locations included the Warner Bros. lot, where Lois and Clark was shot.

Broadcast

In Canada, Supergirl premiered as a simulcast with the American broadcast, while it premiered three days later on October 29 in the United Kingdom. The series will premiere in Australia on December 6, 2015.

Reception

Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the series a 97% approval rating from critics and with an average rating of 7.6/10 based on 66 reviews. The site's consensus states: "Melissa Benoist shines as Superman's plucky little cousin in Supergirl, a family-friendly comic-book adaptation that ditches cynicism for heart." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 75 out of 100 based on reviews from 33 critics, indicating "Generally favorable reviews". Cliff Wheatley of IGN gave the pilot episode a 7/10, praising Melissa Benoist's performance as Kara and the fun take on the Superman mythos.

Relation to the Arrowverse

In November 2014, Berlanti expressed interest in Supergirl existing in the Arrowverse, the same universe as his other series Arrow and The Flash, and in January 2015, The CW president Mark Pedowitz revealed that he was also open to a crossover between the series and networks (due to Berlanti executive producing all three and The CW being co-owned by CBS). However, CBS Entertainment chair Nina Tassler stated that month that, "those two shows are on a different network. So I think we'll keep Supergirl to ourselves for a while." In August 2015, Tassler revealed that while there were no plans at the time to do crossover storylines, the three series would have crossover promotions. Pedowitz later revealed he regretted passing on the series when presented it in mid-2014, saying, "We hadn't launched The Flash yet, we weren't ready to take on another DC property. In hindsight we probably should've gone that direction... Sometimes you lose great shows."
