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)

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.

Real-world political and social issues have inspired Supergirl's last two seasons and that will remain the case in the forthcoming run, especially in the back half of season 6 as the show turns its attention to power. Following the destruction of the DEO last year, the Superfriends must figure out how to superhero responsibility now that they're operating without government oversight (you know, with great powers comes etc...).


Sacrifices of Supergirl or not...this WORRIES me. Although season 5 IMHO, except for one or two episodes, basically held the line on politics.

But now given the current scenario with the left in control (by hook and by crook and bolstered by a cowardly judiciary and big money elites selling out to China) this to me will be a victory lap for the show given the results they have gotten...then again Warners is one of the Hollywood studios financed by the People's Republic of China.

I still have that rancid, sour, bitter taste in my mouth over season 4 and their attack on conservatives, libertarians, old school liberals, talk radio and al-media (namely Infowars, Breitbart, Newsmax, One America News, etc.).

After 6 years of joy and eventually anger and disappointment, I am happy and sad to see this show go...

Sad...because it's the culmination of a dream of mine to have Supergirl on TV and have it turn out to be more successful than Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter or other female superhero TV shows, perhaps put together (Black Scorpion or Sheena ring any bells?).

Happy...because I won't have to suffer through the woke communist propaganda and politics when this show's final sign-off happens.

On the other hand...having be sans government oversight might give Team Kara and company more freedoms to handle crime and such...and I do not mean like The Crows on Batwoman who are making Gotham into a further police state.

(exhausted)

Now...given SG's going to be on Tuesday at 9, one can assume The Flash will lead in...which to me would've been my dream line-up. The two most hopeful superheroes on TV on a night when people might still have a slight case of the Mondays. And it would give a whole new meaning to Super Tuesday...not that Flash and Superman and Lois are doing that at the moment of course.

I thought this may be of interest to fans...

Great interview.This stood out to me.

Warning: Spoiler Alert! [Toggle message]
So, I'm not absent from the first part of the season, but I'm in a different place. Supergirl is quite isolated.


I think that is another clue Kara is trapped in the Phantom Zone.


Sounds like Melissa is happy that they've now moved passed the Kara & Lena season 5 storyline.

Interesting that the showrunners asked for Melissa's imput on where Kara is at the end of the series.Very curious about what her one request was.

and it wasn't even something they were thinking about doing.


Again,very curious about what that request was.

A bunch of stuff.First,a extended version of the first preview clip from tonight's premeire.



Second,another interview with Melissa,this time with Entertaiment Tonight.

https://www.etonline.com/melissa-benoist-says-how-supergirl-ends-does-the-character-justice-exclusive-163101

Among other things,Melissa reveals her favorite season of the show is season 4.

My favorite season that we've done so far was season 4 where we really laid heavy on the commentary. This season will be no different. This will be inspired by real-world issues -- both the Black Lives Matter movement and how some people felt disempowered because of circumstances that we're all living in with the pandemic.


Her one request of the showrunners was for something she didn't want them to do which they aren't

Just don't do this and I'll be happy. And you know what, they're not doing it. So I'm happy.


I'm hoping her request was that Kara doesn't die at the end of the series.

She's been DMied new big screen Supergirl Sasha Calle..

Sasha Calle was recently cast as the DC movie universe's Supergirl. Any words of wisdom for her as she gears up to don the cape? And what do you feel is your legacy from your time as Kara and Supergirl?

You know what? I don't have any words of wisdom because it's such a personal thing. All I can say is that I can't wait to see her version of the character, and her and I have DMed on Instagram. I reached out to her when she got the news in the video when she found out she got the role, which made me cry, because I felt that and this role, she just seems perfect for it. I think that staying true to yourself and playing this role is the best thing you can do. I have no doubt that she's going to do that. I feel like that's what I'm most proud of, is that I've never compromised in playing this role what I really felt mattered for her and for what we were saying to young girls out there. What we represent was always at the forefront of my mind in every line I said and every step I took. Every heat vision I did, every freeze breath I blew, it always came back to this. This is for young girls. I did it as the first female superhero show since Wonder Woman, but Sasha will be doing it as the first Supergirl who is a person of color.


The whole interview is really worth a read.

Finally,on location photos for episode 6x11..

Well guys...I finally did one of the things I've wanted to do since moving to Vancouver. I got onto a Supergirl set!

It was really cool. They aren't as good as professional photographers, but I did get some photos. Unfortunately, I can't upload them without downsizing them. I'll get to that at some point.

But I can confirm that Mxy is returning, this year!

Although, the PZ storyline may have had more to do with convenience in allowing the producers to film separate inserts for episodes Melissa missed during her maternity leave, I personally could not have asked for a better plot to kick off its final season.

This may be of interest to fans...

Great article. And I couldn't agree with you more. My biggest concern was that Melissa's leave would mean we'd be without her for several episodes. However, this was an ingenious idea to make sure she has an entire story that is filmed separately from everyone else. I'm not sure if her journey will be the A or B story in the coming episodes, but I'm really excited to see what it entails. There's the strong possibility we might get Supergirl in every episode, which would be amazing.

IMO... Kelly's suit looks closer to the comic book than James' suit did... gender aside obviously. She has a bike too! This looks post PZ as Supergirl is partially in the frame.

I think episode 12 is filming which is the one Azie Tesfai has written.So this might be from that.

ETA

David Ramsey(John Diggle)-is directing this episode that is currently filming so yes,this is the episode Azie wrote.


Speaking of which, the YouTube page DCTV Heroes has very short film (0:16) of proving how during takes, there's dancing on the set. Now this video was shot by someone from a little distance so keep a sharp eye out for Melissa and the gang being silly.

Has Jon Cryer been upgraded to series regular on Supergirl? –Brian

Though Cryer is not a series regular for the CW drama’s farewell run, I am hearing that, following a brief, upcoming absence, Lex will again loom large in the back half of the season.

If the baby comes in the next 2 weeks that would give Melissa a 6 week maternity leave... not very long but fairly standard in the regular working world.

Odd panel selection. I like them, but I would have expected more from the current regular lineup.

LOL you beat me to this. We know that on the Coffee Live IG video Melissa did on July 7th she said she was only weeks away. It’s possible in the time between the two videos she’s had the baby and they just haven’t made a public announcement. But even if that’s the case if she’s expected back at the end of September that’s not much of a maternity leave. They could be planning to start without Melissa like they did in season 4 but why would they do that given the shows “mid-season” primer.

When Supergirl was moved to “mid-season” the reasoning given made sense, production could start later which would give Melissa more recovery time. With what Jesse said it now seems they plan to start production around same time as the “fall” shows. Admins any information you can give us on production plans.

Someone in a FB group i’m in posted the video and summarized. I don’t generally get much out of panels so I haven’t watched. I’m still scratching my head as to why they wouldn’t go with a later start date to avoid Melissa being out and the added bonus of having the other shows work out the kinks in the new Coronavirus production protocols.

Well, Melissa can’t pose for a new poster right now and fans tend to not like reused and photoshopped ones. With the lead unavailable who would you have preferred. Perhaps Chyler and David were unavailable. It could be that Nicole was just the most available but I know some think Dreamer is too powerful. BTW Grant didn’t do the poster they released for Flash, Candice did. They tend to want to show off new suits in these pre-season posters so that could be another reason for the leads not doing them and not reusing last years. Grant just hasn’t had the fittings.
