As stars of their own
upcoming shows Melissa Benoist and Tom Ellis are front and center in the posters
for Supergirl (CBS) and Lucifer (Fox). Ahead of their official debuts, both shows will be represented by respective cast and crew at this year's San Diego Comic Con (details).
Created by Otto Binder, and Al Plastino in 1959,
Supergirl is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara
Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Supergirl!
Born on the doomed planet Krypton, the preteen Kara escaped at the same time as
the infant Kal-El (Superman), but didn't arrive on Earth until many years later
after being lost in the Phantom Zone. Now age 24, living in National City and
working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant, Kara has
spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All
that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become
the hero she was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet
photographer James Olsen, her foster sister Alex, and the research of the
super-secret, off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO) and its
head, Hank Henshaw, who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens,
Kara takes to the skies to protect her world.
Supergirl premieres on October 26.
Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam
Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint, LUCIFER is the story of the original fallen angel. Bored and
unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his throne and
retired to the City of Angels, where he owns an upscale piano bar called Lux.
When a beautiful pop star is murdered, he feels something awaken deep within
him for the first time in roughly 10 billion years. Is he actually capable of
feelings for a human being? The very thought disturbs him. The murder attracts
the attention of LAPD homicide detective Chloe Dancer, who finds herself both
repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer. At the same time, God’s emissary, the angel
Amenadiel, has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to Hell.
But with the City of Angels at his feet and a newfound purpose, Lucifer’s
having too much fun to go back now.
Lucifer doesn't have a official release date just yet, but it will be in 2016.
