CBS has finally announced the premiere date for their upcoming drama based on DC Comic's Supergirl. Executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler,
Sarah Schecter and Andrew Kreisberg, Supergirl will debut Monday, October 26. at 8 pm.
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), 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”).
