The CW surprisingly announces the cessation of production of the Kryptonian superheroine after the next premiere of the sixth season, scheduled for 2021.
Supergirl, one of the many television series belonging to the Arrowverse of The CW and DC, will come to an end after the premiere of the next season 6. This has been announced by Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Productions, a decision that has been made together the parties involved, including The CW and Melissa Benoist herself, an actress who has played Kara / Supergirl in recent years.
Premiere scheduled in 2021 with 20 episodes
The exact reasons for the end of the Supergirl series have not been clarified, although factors such as a declining audience or the difficulties of producing a series of these characteristics in times of global pandemic are discussed among those responsible. Be that as it may, filming will start next week in Vancouver, Canada, with the later incorporation of its protagonist, Melissa Benoist, due to her pregnancy.

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 that impact on me, too. 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. I’m so excited that we get to plan our conclusion to this amazing journey, and I cannot wait for you to see what we have in store. I promise we’re going to make it one helluva final season. ♥ ️ el mayarah 💪 @supergirlcw
