SUPERGIRL is an
action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa
Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers
a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be
the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed
planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El.
Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up
in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal
the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her
identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting
media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista
Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet’s former photographer, James Olsen
(Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her
talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a
super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them
protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will
need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human
relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight
crime. Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Arrow”), Ali Adler, Sarah Schecter and
Andrew Kreisberg are executive producers for Berlanti Productions in
association with Warner Bros.Television. The pilot was directed by Glen Winter
(“Arrow”).
