List of episodes

The first season of the American television series Supergirl, which is based on the DC Comics character Supergirl / Kara Zor-El, a costumed superheroine who is the cousin to Superman and one of the last surviving Kryptonians.

Supergirl was ordered to series in May 2015, and later picked up for a full season in November 2015, with filming taking place primarily in Los Angeles. Melissa Benoist stars in the titular role, and is joined by principal cast members Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh, Jeremy Jordan, David Harewood, and Calista Flockhart.

The series premiere was watched by 12.96 million viewers, tied with NBC's Blindspot as the top-rated series premiere of the 2015–16 fall season.[1] The season, which premiered on CBS on October 26, 2015, and ran until April 18, 2016, over 20 episodes, overall received positive reviews. The series was renewed for a second season on May 12, 2016, and moved to The CW.[2]

Plot

In the first season, Kara Danvers becomes Supergirl. Having hid her powers for more than a decade, Kara is forced to reveal her powers to thwart an unexpected disaster. She becomes National City's protector.[3] Kara discovers that hundreds of the criminals her mother prosecuted as a judge on Krypton are hiding on Earth, including her mother's twin sister Astra and Astra's husband Non, who seek to rule the world. After briefly becoming suspicious of the true agenda of her boss, Hank Henshaw, she and her adoptive sister, Alex Danvers, secretly discover that Henshaw is actually benevolent Green Martian refugee J'onn J'onzz, who assumes Henshaw's identity some fifty years after escaping a holocaust on Mars. He infiltrated the DEO to reform the organization and keep watch over Kara. Over the course of the season, Kara is targeted by criminals as the result of connection to Superman, and encounters an emerging community of metahumans, as well as people from parallel universes. She is aided by a few close friends and family who guard her secrets – most significantly her cousin's longtime friend, James Olsen and tech genius Winn Schott.

Notes
  1. ^ a b Following the November 2015 Paris attacks, the episode "How Does She Do It?", which features content similar to the attacks and was originally scheduled to air as the fourth episode of the season on November 16, 2015, was pulled from its scheduled airing. In its place, the episode "Livewire", which was originally scheduled to air as the fifth episode on November 23, 2015, was aired.[6] "How Does She Do It?" then aired as the fifth episode on November 23.[7] For the season's home media release, the episodes were restored to their original production order,[8] which is how the episodes are presented here.

Cast and characters

Guest

The hosts of The Talk, Sara Gilbert, Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler and Sheryl Underwood, cameo as themselves.[59]

Production

Development

By September 2014, Warner Bros. Television was looking to create a television series centered around Supergirl. Executive producers for the series include Greg Berlanti (also a creator/producer for Arrow and The Flash), Ali Adler, who are both writing the script, and Berlanti Productions' Sarah Schechter. DC Comics' Geoff Johns is also expected to be part of the project. Titles under consideration for the series included Super and Girl.[60] Berlanti confirmed the show shortly after, and stated it was in development and had yet to be pitched to networks.[61] On September 20, it was announced that CBS had landed Supergirl with a series commitment,[62] with an expected premiere in 2015 of the 2015–16 television season.[31]

The show was officially picked up to series on May 6, 2015.[63] On November 30, 2015, CBS ordered an additional seven episodes of Supergirl, for a full season of 20 episodes.[64]

Writing

In January 2015, CBS Entertainment Chairman Nina Tassler revealed the show would be a procedural, saying, "There will be [crime] cases, but what [executive producers] Ali Adler and Greg Berlanti pitched was a real series arc for her. The beauty of it is now with shows like The Good Wife and Madam Secretary, you can have serialized story elements woven into a case of the week. She's a crime solver, so she's going to have to solve a crime."[65] In July 2015, Adler spoke on how much influence Superman would have on the show, saying, "Our prototype is the way the president is seen on Veep. It's certainly [inspired by] so much of what Julia Louis-Dreyfus' character goes through. Ultimately, this is a show about Supergirl and we really want to see it through her lens."[66]

Casting

In January 2015, it was announced by The Hollywood Reporter that Melissa Benoist would star as Supergirl.[67] Benoist later revealed that auditioning for the part "was a long, drawn-out, three-month process";[68] she was the first actress looked at for the role,[35] although Claire Holt and Gemma Atkinson were also considered.[69][70][71]

Filming

In February 2015, it was announced that Andrew Kreisberg, co-creator of Arrow and The Flash, had joined the series as a writer and executive producer;[72] and Arrow / The Flash and Smallville alum Glen Winter was announced to be directing the pilot.[73] Principal photography for the pilot took place from March 4[74] to March 29, 2015.[75] Filming locations included the Warner Bros. lot, where Lois and Clark was shot.[76] Each episode cost approximately $3 million to broadcast, which is one of the highest license fees ever for a first year show.[77]
