CBS's SUPERGIRL Lands A Premiere Date!

Perhaps some of the biggest news that took up most of the last few months revolved around all things coming to television between now and 2016. As such, the Fall line-up has been quite the talk and with particular regard to the upcoming pilot premiere of CBS's one-hour per episode series adaptation of DC Comics character, Supergirl.

No need for those who probably already saw the pilot when it was leaked online last month, thought it would still be pretty neat for fans to help support it and promote through its better-quality viewing on television. That said, THR has listed the several dates and showtimes of various programs with its Thursday Night Football airing as its springboard, and Supergirl now has a date set for Monday, October 26 at 8:30pm EST/7:30pm Central, followed by Mondays at 8:00pm EST/7:00pm Central on November 2.

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").
