Now that Supergirl is going into their third season, fans will remember how the schedule of a TV show works. Usually there is a big premiere which is followed by new episodes for a while until a first act break (generally around the first third of the season). This is because its not as profitable to run new episodes when you can do reruns of Christmas specials and so forth. That said, its always a question of how many episodes we'll get before the first break. We can confirm today that at least the first eight will be uninterrupted! This means that we'll have new episodes of Supergirl from October 9th through to the crossover on November 27th! Not a bad way to spend two months! As for new episodes after the crossover/after the holiday break, we aren't sure but going into a holiday break with the crossover like last year makes sense.

In other news, two decent sized spoilers were announced from Entertainment Weekly. We've added them to our spoilers page but when they are this big, they are already in the main stream. The first is the fate of Maggie Sawyer. While we still don't know what that ultimately is, we can report on what it isn't. Maggie Sawyer does not die, as confirmed here. Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg said:

Maggie does not die. I’m sure a lot of people are afraid of that. Maggie will continue to exist in the world and we hope that if the opportunity presents itself for her, that she’ll come back from time to time. Unfortunately, Floriana decided to move on, which left us with, how do we write her out as a regular while still honoring these two women who were deeply in love with each other? Taking a page out of some of our own personal dating history, we’ve come up with a story that we really feel like honors what’s come before them, and honors how much they love each other, how much they mean to each other, and how much they’ve changed each other’s lives. It’s some of the most emotional stuff we’ve ever done, and Floriana has been so good in these first five episodes. Episode 3 is all about Maggie and her dad, played by Carlos Bernard, and it’s some of the most heartbreaking stuff I’ve ever done on anything I’ve ever done.

The second spoiler comes from a Spoiler Room article also found on Entertainment Weekly. Kara and Lena will have many more adventures as the season begins. Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg said:

Lena and Kara’s friendship will continue to grow. There’s a lot of Lena-Kara adventures early on in this season. The most interesting thing about Lena is that she is so good, and so moral, and believes in second chances, but she comes from this family of truly evil people. As people are going to realize over the course of this season, it doesn’t take much to make you bad. People don’t just turn evil. They do one small bad thing and then that leads to another, and then to another, and so any time you’re watching Lena, you’re always wondering, ‘Is this the moment when she does the one small thing?'

In our eyes, both help give clues to how the season will unfold but don't provide details to the plot or hardships the Girl of Steel will face this season. Supergirl returns to The CW on October 9th at 8pm! Let us know what you think of these spoilers and if you plan on watching all the new episodes in a row like we'll be doing!
