Supergirl Concludes After Six Seasons, Leaving Lasting Impact on DC Universe
After six seasons and 126 episodes, Supergirl concluded in 2021, leaving fans with a mix of sadness and pride. The show, which debuted on CBS News in 2015, introduced Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, as the first live-action female-led superhero series in years. It quickly became a defining show of The CW's superhero era.
Supergirl's journey began on CBS News, with Melissa Benoist portraying Kara Danvers/Kara Zor-El. In its first season, the show featured Kara working at CatCo Worldwide Media under Cat Grant and forming a bond with her adoptive sister Alex Danvers. The series moved to The CW for season two, joining the Arrowverse and opening doors for crossovers with other DC TV shows.
Under The CW, Supergirl evolved, leaning into serialized storytelling and expanding its villain roster. It tackled real-world issues through its storylines, solidifying The CW's shared DC universe and becoming a playground for nerd fandom. Ten years after its premiere, Supergirl continues to hold a special place in fandom, with fans celebrating its legacy through conventions, rewatches, and cosplay.
Supergirl's impact on the DC Universe is undeniable. The show's legacy lives on, with the upcoming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow film introducing a new cinematic Kara. Melissa Benoist's portrayal remains the live-action foundation for modern audiences. Despite its conclusion, Supergirl's spirit of identity, representation, friendship, and found family continues to inspire fans worldwide.
