I decided to start basically a Supergirl season 6 thread.I was already figuring we may get some news at DC's FanDome event next month but apparently there was a Virtual Wizard World Con in the past few days and several cast members were there.Apparently there was some season 6 news there.TheDCTVshow has a report on it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL_031LiXNw

The Major news points.

1)Jesse Rath revealed they plan to begin shooting September 28.

DCTVshow speculates that they might do what they did at the start of season 4 where other cast members like Jesse will begin shooting September 28 but Melissa might start a little later.

2)Helen Slater will be in a couple episodes in season 6.

The next bit I'll spoiler highlight since it could be considered a spoiler.

3)
Warning: Spoiler Alert! [Toggle message]
From Jesse Rath:"The writers are working on,not a Legion story but what I think is the essence of what The Legion Of Superheroes is."

DCTVShow speculates he's not expecting Legion members appearing but more the idea of what The Legion is.A team of superheroes coming together.So really Team Supergirl really coming together as a team and becoming the basis of what The Legion becomes in the future.


ETA

I think I found the actual panel video.

Chyler Leigh will be directing a young Danvers Sisters episode which is 6x06. Izabella and Olivia are in Vancouver. YVR Shoots have posted the production list and Chyler is listed for this week.

And just like that, 6x06 became my most anticipated episode of the season. :)

You can add me to the list. Midvale was so good...it's in my Hall of Fame of SG episodes. And Chyler gets her turn in the director's chair where she will have an advantage...not having to direct herself like Melissa did...not that she wasn't capable of doing that.

David Ramsey is returning as Arrow's John Diggle on Supergirl in a episode this season.He will also be directing for Supergirl as well as well as appearing/directing episodes of The Flash,DC Legends Of Tomorrow,Batwoman and Superman & Lois.



I wonder if his mystery role of Legends is as Green Lantern as set up in the Arrow finale.Very excited to hear about Ramsey's return as Diggle and him directing.I bet he's not doing Black Lightning due to it shooting in Atlanta.

Good for him! I hope it turns into something more permanent--should he wish it. He was a real pro throughout Arrow's run; I enjoyed his character and his performance.

I agree, the chemistry with him and Stephen Amell was amazing...and I am thinking what some on here are thinking...that David will be on Legends...as Green Lantern. Also cool to see him pop up on and direct a Supergirl episode.

Thanks for the link CatPat. I feel it's going to be a bang up final season with the focus on Supergirl and Melissa the actress. I expect to see a full display of her talent in many episodes. After the conclusion of Supergirl I can see Melissa staring in a tv sit com or doing a stint on Broadway. Someone as talented as her will always land on their feet.

I thought I'd share this story I came across with a disclaimer... We Got This Covered is sometimes correct in their reporting but it is very hit and miss. While it sounds plausible, I wouldn't put a lot of stock in it at this point, it may or may not be accurate. I thought it would be appropriate here as it relates to season 6 speculation...


https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/melissa-benoist-reportedly-interested-returning-supergirl-final-season


I saw that a few days ago.We Got This Covered is not very reliable.I remember them swearing that their sources told them Supergirl was being canceled in season 4 due to low ratings and low and behold,it was renewed for Season 5.Then they said the same thing in Season 5 and the show was renewed for season 6.

Of course it's very possible but I keep going back to what Erin Cummings teased on The John Campea Show the days the news broke.I guess we'll know down the line.

I certainly hope Melissa would be open to occasional guest appearances on other Arrowverse shows or future crossover events.If nothing else,I would love to see .a guest appearance on The Flash for whenever that shows eventually ends(rumor is that it probably will go another two years or maybe three) like she,Grant and Caity appeared in the final episode of Arrow.

I agree with you that We Got This Covered is hit and miss, I take everything they say with a heavy dose of scepticism. They actually reported exactly the opposite in October.
https://wegotthiscovered.com/tv/melissa-benoist-rumored-return-supergirl-show/

LOL I guess since they reported things both ways they can say they were right.

Was just listening to the new DCTVShow podcast and it's reporting that episode 5 & 6(which finished on the 18th before the show broke for the holidays) may be a two parter and that Izabella and Olivia are also in episode 5 as well.

Some other interesting stuff and speculation in the video.

spoilers for Batwoman season 1 episode 1.

Warning: Spoiler Alert! [Toggle message]
1)The episode opens with Kate's plane arriving back in Gotham from National City when it crashes setting up her disappearance.

2)We learn from Luke later in the episode that Kate went to National City to talk to Kara about destroying the kryptonite bullet.We don't get a answer on what was decided due to the plane crash.

3)Luke accidently outs Kara as Supergirl to Hush thinking he's Bruce Wayne(not sure if that will play into anything since Hush is captured at the end of the episode and sent back to Arkham).

4)The new Batwoman was shot with the kryptonite bullet.

5)It looks like Ryan is going to suffer from kryptonite poisoning since pieces of the bullet are embeded in her wound.The showrunner confirms in a T.V. line interview that this will be a ongoing plotline.

My thoughts.

The opening of the episode certainly sets up a way to do something along the lines of what I want.

They very easily in the season 6 premiere of Supergirl could have a Melissa light episode by having Kara meet with Kate offscreen and then later in the episode have Kara mention what they decided to do with the kryptonite bullet.

Kate's plane crash could also then be mentioned on the show too.

Finally,I certainly can see now how they would of set up a crossover.meeting between Supergirl and the new Batwoman if we hadn't had the ongoing issue with the pandemic preventing crossovers via Ryan suffering from the kryptonite in her system.


Warning: Spoiler Alert! [Toggle message]
It was nice to see that the Kryptonite being able to penetrate the Batsuit storyline wasn’t dropped. On Supergirl they could have a Melissa light episode where Kara learns Kate’s plane has crashed, and the audience learns what Kara and Kate decided, and she flys to Gotham to join the search for Kate. Since there’s no actual crossovers happening they’re not restricted as far as the events on all shows taking place during roughly the same time. If they had planned for Batwoman to get Kryptonite poisoning that’s definitely where a Supergirl/Batwoman crossover could have happened but perhaps it was supposed to be on Supergirl. National City would be the place to go to for help with all things Kryptonite. When the atmosphere was flooded with Kryptonite the anti-Kryptonite shield Winn made using Astra’s technology helped leach the Kryptonite from Kara’s system and kept her alive until Lena’s biosuit stabilized her. There’s also medical expert Alex who could have worked with Mary.

Was just listening to the latest DCTV Show podcast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwlWNfS4Jkg

They confirmed that Melissa is back on set.They also said that Melissa is probably going to miss two episodes this season and those are the two young Danvers episodes.

They then speculate about a photo that Melissa's stunt double posted today where she's wearing the old suit and no bangs.Is it a old photo she reposted?Is this more evidence that they are losing the bangs?Is the old suit coming back?

Personally,I can certainly buy them losing the bangs this season and there were other photos of the stunt double sporting the season 1-4 hair posted recently and the last time we saw Melissa right before the election,she didn't have bangs.But I would be surprised if they went back to the season 1-4 suit with the skirt unless it was for a flashback or one off like we saw for a bit in Crisis and the 100th episode.They spent the money to make the new suit,Melissa loves it and it gives better protection from the elements.

I guess if Melissa had to miss an episode or two, the ones featuring the younger versions of the Danvers sister would work the best. We still get Kara Danvers. Supergirl without Kara is really not Supergirl.


Makes perfect sense to me. :)

Just watching the latest DCTVshow podcast and they revealed the title of episode 6x07 is,""FEAR KNOT." This is the episode David Harewood just directed.It's also our first episode title.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGv2eRiie74

They also reveal they got official confirmation that the reason we haven't seen Melissa in any set photos yet or behind the scene photos is because she has been filming separately from the rest of the cast catching up shooting her scenes on the episodes that were filmed in the Fall.From 1/18 to 2/8 she has been filming all that stuff which is why we haven't seen any photos of her yet.She is now completely caught up on filming.We potentially could get our first look at Melissa maybe next week.

They also got confirmation that Melissa is not in episode 6,the episode Chyler directed that flashes back to young Kara and Alex..Melissa may have maybe one small scene in that episode.

David has wrapped directing his episode yesterday.Here is behind the scenes video he posted on his twitter showing the celebration of wrapping.

https://twitter.com/DavidHarewood/status/1359214717269549056

In the DCTV video,you can also see a behind the scenes photo of David with Katie from this episode.Also they speculate that it was Katie shooting that celebration video which is why she isn't in it with the other cast members.

@comic fan

I hope this is right and that we do start seeing some Melissa content, soon. That said, I don't trust a thing that DCTVshow says. They have a really bad habit of saying "officially confirmed" on things that aren't confirmed, and don't cite sources.


I don't know if this will count but...well...

I think Melissa is on set

Here’s a still shot. It’s definitely a woman without bangs in the Supergirl suit.
Melissa ?

A couple of bits and bobs.

EW.com has a new interview with Azie Tesfai about her writing for Supergirl.How it came about and her preperations

https://ew.com/tv/supergirl-azie-tesfai-teases-writing-episode/

She teases what's in store for Kelly this season.

She added: "[Episode] 12, in my opinion, for Kelly, is the most epic episode of the season, so I'm excited to get to pen it."

Before the interview ended, Tesfai also teased that Kelly fans will be very excited about where her character goes in the 20-episode season. Said Tesfai: "The fans have been very vocal about what they want to see for Kelly — and I feel like they know what I'm talking about — and they, especially in the back half of the season, will get everything that they want, and it makes me very excited."


Melissa posted her support yesterday ahead of the Superman & Lois premiere.

Am I correct that Melissa and John are negative with the covid? If so then why are they wearing those freaking masks. It would have been better received with hope if they were mask less.

July 20,1969 "The Americans Are On The Moon"
American Land (London Calling: Live in Hyde Park,2009)


They may be negative, but they take measures to ensure that they STAY negative.

Those masks are standard for the film industry, right now. All cast and crew wear masks at all times. And anybody working in close proximity to one another also wear face shields.

Only the actors get to take their masks off, and that is only when they are filming takes.

They take these safety measures very seriously in Vancouver. If even one cast member or crew member tests positive, then the entire production shuts down for at least 2 weeks.

I am fully vaccinated and I still have to wear a mask. If that is the protocol doesn't matter if you are negative, fully vaccinated, positive for antibodies.....masks for all. ?
