No, it’s a plane. It’s Superman. No wait, it’s _Supergirl!_ And she’s officially landing a series order at CBS. The new series stars _Glee_ alum Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El, who escaped Krypton amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. _Supergirl_ hails from _Arrow_ and _Flash_ executive producer Greg Berlanti and _The New Normal’_s Ali Adler, who will write and executive-produce with _Arrow_ and _Flash_ boss Andrew Kreisberg and Sarah Schechter. The drama is one of CBS’s relatively new efforts to venture outside of its standard crime procedural comfort zone. The network is diving into the super-hero genre, which has made such a strong impact in both movies and—over the last few years—at its TV rivals, particularly CBS’s younger-skewing sister network The CW. One question is whether fans of _NCIS_ and _Criminal Minds_ will embrace the network getting into DC Comics territory. CBS won’t say if the show will air in the fall or midseason, but will almost certainly announce that decision at its upfront presentation in New York next week. The series marks Berlanti’s third superhero project guaranteed to be on the air next season, though the _Arrow_–_Flash_ spin-off will likely tip that number up to four. The one-hour drama is just one in a long line of comic book properties either coming to or currently on television. For its part, Warner Bros. has _Arrow, The Flash_ and _Gotham_ already renewed, while midseason entry _iZombie_ is looking strong. _Constantine_, on the other hand, has burned out in the ratings (though is still officially under consideration for next season). The studio also has [_Titans_](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/09/11/titans-nightwing-pilot/%20)and [_Lucifer_](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/09/16/fox-dc-comics-lucifer/%20)in contention at other networks. Over at Marvel, ABC will likely renew _Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,_ while the fates of _Agent Carter_ and the Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood-starring _S.H.I.E.L.D._ spin-off are still up in the air. Netflix also has _Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage_, _Iron Fist_ and the subsequent team-up project _The Defenders_. Though _Supergirl_ will be airing on The CW’s parent network, Berlanti has already gone on record to say that the heroine exists in the same universe as the scarlet speedster and emerald archer, so we could be in for an epic cross-network crossover with _The Flash_ and _Arrow_—and the superhero team-up spin-off, should it move forward. The series also stars Mehcad Brooks, Calista Flockhart, Chyler Leigh and David Harewood, while Laura Benanti, Dean Cain and Helen Slater are among the pilot’s guest stars. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/06/supergirl) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com)_._ ### See How Marvel's Wolverine Has Evolved Over The Years  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com  Kate Willaert—HalloweenCostumes.com 'Supergirl' Gets CBS Series ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3849516/supergirl-cbs-series-order/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3849516/supergirl-cbs-series-order/"},"headline":"Supergirl Gets CBS Series","datePublished":"2015-05-06T22:50:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:04:06.972Z","description":"Air date is unknown yet, but soon to be announced","url":"https://time.com/3849516/supergirl-cbs-series-order/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"James Hibberd, Natalie Abrams / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3849516/supergirl-cbs-series-order/","name":"Supergirl Gets CBS Series"}}]}] ```
