Fans of the series Supergirl will be sad to know that the show will be ending. The CW and producers, Warners Bro TV and Berlanti Production, announced that the drama series will conclude with the upcoming sixth season. Production for the show is set to begin later this month and the writers of the show have started developing storylines for the final twenty episodes. The CW is aiming to premiere the final season sometime in 2021. The show’s main heroine, played by Melissa Benoit, addressed the show’s end via her Instagram page.
Supergirl is the second show from CW’s DC Arrowverse to come to an end. The first was Arrow, which concluded at the beginning of this year after eight seasons. Supergirl debuted in October 2015 on CBS and joined The CW lineup in October 2016 for its second season. The fourth season of the show made history by casting Nicole Maines as Dreamer, television’s first transgender superhero. Season five of the show also starred Chyler Leigh, Katie McGrath, Jesse Rath, Nicole Maines, Azie Tesfai, Andrea Brooks, Julie Gonzalo, Staz Nair and David Harewood, with special guest star, Jon Cryer.
What a ride! It’s been a pleasure bringing the Martian to life these past 6 years! Thank you to EVERYONE who supported! And thank you to all the fabulous actors, artists, writers and directors who have passed through the show over the years. Time to suit up one last time!
