Well, it looks like the tenure for Supergirl has an early conclusion.
On Tuesday, TVLine has learned that the upcoming sixth season of The CW's DC superhero series will be its last.
Production is to begin later this month with 20 episodes slated for the final season. The creative team has already developed the storylines.
In the wake of the announcement Melissa Benoist, who plays Supergirl/Kara, shared on Instagram, "To say it has been an honor portraying this iconic character would be a massive understatement. Seeing the incredible impact the show has had on young girls around the world has always left me humbled and speechless.
"She's had the impact on me too," Benoist contained. "She's taught me strength I didn't know I had, to find hope in the darkest of places, and that we are stronger when we're united. What she stands for pushes all of us to be better. She has changed my life for the better, and I'm forever grateful."
Regading on the show's final episodes, Benoist teased, "I'm so excited that we get to plan our conclusion to this amazing journey, and I cannot wait fo you to see what we have in store. I promise we're going to make it one helluva final season."
Is this a bit of a shocker, yes and no. I was hoping that it would at least go seven seasons but once you take a step back and look at what's going on with The CW and DCTV; it makes a whole lot of sense. Superman and Lois are coming at the beginning of the year and I guess it would just be too crowded for two superheroes on one network.
