Renewed: Supergirl

Supergirl has been renewed for a second season, but will be moving from CBS to fellow network The CW in the US.

The series, which stars Melissa Benoist, will now join fellow superheroes Arrow, The Flash, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

CBS Entertainment chairman Nina Tassler said, “For our network right now, what we did respond to was the character’s humanity, the other characters in the show as well – the story trajectory and the character’s arc and growth. These are all things that made her just imminently relatable, and made the story exciting.”

After launching with 13 million viewers it settled at 6.11 million in overnight ratings.

Reports also suggest that the series will move production from Los Angeles to Vancouver, where those other shows also film, but The CW has not confirmed.

It airs in Australia on FOX8.
