Supergirl: Everything About The TV Show
Supergirl has been on our radar since last fall, when CBS opted to give a series based around a female superhero a go. Just a few weeks ago, the network announced that Supergirl will, in fact, be moving forward to series, also releasing a first look trailer at that time. With Supergirl officially headed to our televisions next TV season, now seems to be a great time to compile what we know about the series and present it in an easily digestible form.

The very first episode is getting a Big Bang Theory lead-in and will air at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Earlier in the fall, you can catch The Big Bang Theory and Life in Pieces in Supergirl’s place. Interestingly, Supergirl will air in the timeslot opposite other DC Comics seriesGotham. While not an ideal situation, executive producer Greg Berlanti has said he believes there's certainly room for both shows.

Then, after shooting the pilot, we actually got an extended lookat the Supergirl trailer, which highlights a little bit about Kara Danvers as a human, as well as how she becomes the famous superheroine.
