CBS's SUPERGIRL Gets Seven More Episodes For Its First Season

Well, it’s been a definitive season of superhero fandom and the premiere of the new CBS installation of DC Comics property, Supergirl, certainly fits the mold. The show’s progress following its premiere back in October has led it to fruition as one of the highest rated and most-watched shows of the season, and so CBS is now ordering seven more for a total of 20 episodes for its first season.

Actress Melissa Benoist stars in the title role, distant from her much more popular male cousin who discovers herself in the wake of Krypton’s destruction. Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh and Jeremy Jordan with David Harewood and Calista Flockhart also star in the series created and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler, Andrew Kreisberg and Sarah Schechter in association with Warner Bros. Television.
