Supergirl Show Renewed For Season Five

Last Thursday, The CW network decided to give their fans an early Valentine's Day gift announcing that they were renewing 10 shows, including all of the DC Comics superhero shows. That means we will be getting a 5th season of Supergirl.

Here is a link to Variety's brief coverage: https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/cw-renews-series-charmed-legacies-riverdale-1203125086/

Times like this I remember my feelings in April 2009 when I started a Supergirl blog because I felt I needed to promote the character. Now Supergirl has a successful, live action show approaching 100 episodes.

Moreover, I feel I have been blessed as a fan to have someone like Melissa Benoist, who just seems to embrace everything that Kara is, as the star. No show is perfect. But this series has really showcased everything I love about the character and I get to enjoy it for another year.

And all this while maintaining a healthy audience in the usual graveyard time slot of Sunday nights. Incredible.

Hooray for all of us.

I suppose it should come as too big a surprise given the fact that the end of the Elseworlds crossover promised Crisis on Infinite Earths next year. You simply can't do Crisis without Kara.

But no worries now.

We'll get Supergirl S5.
