With superheroes going from strength to strength in both cinema and television, wasn't it just a matter of time until another Kryptonian raised her head? Well it seems with the success of shows like Arrow and Smallville, DC definitely have an advantage when it comes to their characters and with the upcoming shows like The Flash and Constantine, it's really no surprise that Supergirl is next in line for her own show.
Here's what the Hollywood Reporter reported:
CBS has landed the high-profile DC Comics adaptation, handing out a hefty series commitment, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The hourlong drama, taken out last week, centers on Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she has 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.
Berlanti and Adler, who previously teamed on ABC's superhero drama No Ordinary Family, will pen the script and executive produce the drama via Berlanti Productions' Warner Bros. Television-based banner. Berlanti Productions' topper Sarah Schecter also executive produces.
So there you have it, Supergirl has skipped the pilot phase and gone straight into production... hopefully that's not a bad thing and we end up with a good quality show and nothing that's hinging on the success of Man of Steel....
Perhaps one of these ladies could help out with casting the Girl of Steel....
