‘Super Girl’ Superhero Series Announced on CBS

[mashshare]
Although it is unknown as to when the show will premiere at this time, Supergirl will be on CBS. The new show will feature Melissa Benoist from Glee and she will be Kara Zor-El. She was able to flee Krypton since its downfall years ago, and as a newcomer to Earth she has been keeping her powers a secret! But now, at age 24 she finally decides to show off her powers and be who she really is.
With this new drama, CBS hopes to draw in new viewers as it is different from its usual crime procedural shows. As the network takes on this superhero genre the only question is whether fans of NCIS and Criminal Minds will appreciate the network getting into DC Comics territory. We are not sure if the show will air this fall or midseason, but we look forward to finding out at its presentation in New York next week!
Executive producer Greg Berlanti also worked on Flash and Arrow which air on The CW, a smaller channel under CBS. We are super excited to see what he has up his sleeves in this one.
