Supergirl Gets a Season 2, but New Home




Well, there's good news for Supergirl fans.

It was announced on Thursday that Supergirl has been renewed for a second season, but here's the real kicker....the series will have a new home come the 2016-2017 season.

The CW ill be taking over as it's new home for the superhero drama. When the series debuted on CBS in October, it premiered with 13 million total viewers and a 3.1 demo rating, which tied NBC's Blindspot as the 2015-2016 TV season's top rated new drama.

TVLine has confirmed that the Supergirl will move production to Vancouver, after setting up in Los Angeles for it's home. At the very early states, there are sources that say there is nothing to report that either way about Calistra Flockhart's participation in the relocation away from LA.

Starring Melissa Benoist (Glee) as the superhero, Supergirl. The series has averaged 7.7 million viewers and a 1.7 rating, numbers which with Live+7 DVR playback go up to 10 million and 2.5. In it's first season finale in April it scored a 6.1 million and a 1.3 in Live+Same day numbers.

But one of the most popular episode had featured a crossover from the star of The CW's The Flash, Grant Gustin, which helped boosted the series to a 7 week high in the demo.

I'm happy that Supergirl is getting a second season. I'm not to happy with how CBS treats their shows like if it doesn't do well to their standards than it's a failure. If you look at what NBC, FOX and ABC has done in the past few years that they keep shows that score lower than 2.0 and get another season.

But Supergirl is coming to The CW the superhero cable network. With Arrow, The Flash and  the Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl should fit in quite well. I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll use as their campaign for the new season.
