Would be really cool if true but We Got this Covered has a reputation of being unreliable.We'll see.If true,is this in place of the originally planned Batwoman/Superman & Lois crossover or in addition to it?

I'm greedy,I want both.lol Two smaller crossovers instead of one bigger one.

Great news, if true. Fingers crossed.

Looked at the crossover rumors and thought of something; what if Superboy exists in the universe where Lex is African-American? Then he will be part of the Arrowverse and if hes popular enough i could see him on some episodes of Lois/Superman show as a conflicted character. The central part of the conflict is that Superman treats him differently than his own kids(because of his cloned nature and that Lex is also his father) Thoughts?

That could be fun... but I am not sure if Warners will want two shows on with Superboy, as he is on Titans. It could be fun synergy, but too soon to open up the multiverse. I think alternate Lex, as rumored, is one of the accidental displacements from Crisis and not a sign the multiverse will reopen. But, I would rule that out as they may want that door pushed back open to allow Stargirl to weave into the other shows.

From David’s Twitter He started yesterday 10/16. According to the post they’re planning 10 months of shooting. That makes sense they’ll want to finish the planed 20 episodes.

Interesting.That means they will be filming Supergirl into August 2021.I was just listing to Canadagraph's podcast(he gets all those set photos from the various CW shows that film in Vancouver) and confirmed that Supergirl is scheduled to film until August 6 which is pretty late.He expects there will be break somewhere in filming,maybe the holidays(they aren't going to shoot for almost 10 months with no break for the actors and crew).

He thinks now that they may be dragging the season out into the Fall/Winter 2021 and separating it into two half seasons .Basically I think like The Walking Dead has done(and will be doing on a larger scale for it's final 24 episode expanded 11th and final season).Air half the season,go on a few months break and then air the back half season.So speculating on my part and on what Canadagraph says,.Air the first 10 episodes in early summer 2021 then air episodes 11-20 in the Fall 2021(again,Supergirl won't finish filming until August 6,2021)?

The 10 months that David said fits with what Canadagraph’s said. There will be breaks but making them long enough for the US cast and crew to go home will be difficult, since they’re gonna to have to quarantine for two weeks when they return to Canada the amount of time at home should be worth that. It would be cool if the cast got to do one more SDCC next July even if it’s a scaled back one. As for how the episodes will air it’s possible that the network will split the season into two parts but it’s also possible they won’t. If the Primer is say the first week of May and there are say three skip week, the postponed summer Olympics are July 23-August 8th, then 20 episodes goes into the first week of October. CW could start the new season the next week.

I was listening to Canadagraph's podcast and he mentioned Melissa isn't returning to the Supergirl set until January.I believe The DCTVshow podcast is going to be talking about this on their next podcast.This is probably why they will be shooting Supergirl Season 6 into August.

I'm very curious about the technical aspects of the show having begun filming two weeks ago but Melissa not filming until January.I know that shooting a episode is taking twice as long due to the COVID-19 restrictions/precautions but it's hard to imagine Kara being absent for several episodes.I'm assuming it will be like at the beginning of season 4 where when Melissa is back,they will just film her scenes for those episodes then..

If Melissa is returning to the set in January then there is a very good chance that a safe and effective vaccine will be available and many concerns with tv production will disappear. With a vaccine we all can get back to the way it was. I just have a good feeling that one will be available by Thanksgiving. It would be fitting and put an exclamation point on thanks for giving.

Unfortunately, I highly doubt a viable vaccine will be ready for public release by Thanksgiving. And even if, by some miracle, it were, COVID 19 filming restrictions aren't going anywhere any time soon. A vaccine not only needs to be proven effective, long term, but it also needs the time to be distributed and saturate enough of the population to create a large scale immunity.

I'm in touch with people who work in the BC film industry at least a few times per week, as we have industry professionals as our instructors here at film school in Vancouver, and consensus is that things are going to remain this way, in terms of the new safety protocols for filming, for at least a year, possibly a few of them.

As for Melissa not returning until January...I can't say I'm surprised. It was kinda my estimate back when the pandemic started. Maternity leave would put her into November or December, and at that point, why come to Canada for filming when you are just going to have a holiday break in a couple of weeks?

I gotta admit guys...I'm not feeling confident about this upcoming season. None of the producers talk about the show in any capacity. It gets zero press, unlike the other DC shows. The show filming for 2 months without it's titular star means at least a few of the 20 episodes we have left are going to be extremely light on Supergirl, if she's present at all. I'm sorry to sound negative, guys. I really am. But I once LOVED this show, and I want to love it again...but to me, it just feels like the people involved don't want to do the show anymore. The exceptions MAYBE being Jesse Rath and Nicole Maines. I don't have any solid evidence to say "This season is going to be awful". But between last season, the pandemic, the show ending, the lack of ANY real news, and Melissa being out for approximately 1/8 of the production season...it just doesn't feel solid.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong. I really REALLY do. I just have a really bad feeling that this season's going to be phoned in, on every front.

I'm sorry guys. I just want to vent these concerns, somewhere, and this is where I come to talk about the show. I know it isn't positive or upbeat dialogue...but how I feel about the show, at the moment.

I was just listening to TheDCTVshow podcast and they are reporting that Chyler Leigh is directing a episode this season.If you remember at Comic Con last year,Chyler said she was going to direct a episode in season 6.That seems to still be happening.DCTVshow said that she will be directing episode 6.

Also apparently it was Melissa herself who confirmed in a interview that she isn't filming until January.Basically because now it takes twice as long to film a episode due to COVID-19 restrictions,Melissa probably won't be missing as many episodes..Most of episode 1 is finished minus what Melissa will need to film probably.He speculates the show will go on Christmas break and then Melissa will return with the rest of the cast after the holidays(the arriving Melissa and any cast/crew who left the country will have to quarantine for two weeks ofcourse).

Quoting kdogg87: "it just feels like the people involved don't want to do the show anymore. The exceptions MAYBE being Jesse Rath and Nicole Maines."
"I just have a really bad feeling that this season's going to be phoned in, on every front."

Yes, we are in uncharted waters, and will be for quite awhile. I am sure the fandom spans the full range of feelings from optimism to pessimism. I choose the "wait and see" option, while remaining generally optimistic.

Your concerns are valid and I am sure are shared by others. However I must take issue with the two statements quoted above. I sincerely hope that it wasn't your intent, but those two statements seem to question the professionalism of what I think is an exemplary cast. I believe that, even under these difficult circumstances, the entire cast and crew will give 100%.

I am concerned as well. I want the show to end on a high note. I think they should block out 2 short arcs as opposed to one long one. It looks like the final season will bleed into tge 21-22 season timetable anyway. So why not a 19 episode season 6 and a 10 episode season 7 filmed back to back... If the showrunner is not invested, we have a problem. The showrunner has been phoning it in until we aporoach the end of the season for the past 2-3 seasons. If the can turn in phenomenal episodes at the end of the season, they can do better during the season. We need ver tight oversight for these final episodes. I fear Melissa will have a small presence in early episodes if she doesn't return to work until January.

I know a fair amount of board members are concerned that the show isn't going to have the last hurrah they rightfully deserve and that this season may be a write-off somehow. I'm not willing to buy into these things for a few reasons:

1) The actors are all professionals and will give their best, irrespective of possibly weak scripting or questionable overall direction (I mean from the EPs and not the individual directors themselves). The actors and crews will show up and give their best, everything else is debatable.

2) If it takes twice as long to film episodes because of Covid-19 precautions, Melissa may not miss a great deal of time since the multiple overall stages of production are also impacted as well. Melissa's presence may be missed initally, but it may not be as severe as we are making it out to be. It depends on how many episodes they have in the can - so to speak - before her estimated return in January. It could only be two or three episodes where she has to catch up and film her missing scenes and do the ADR and other prep work.

3) The possible reason there isn't any news or media surrounding the show is because they've probably decided to keep things tightly under wraps - i.e. their version of a "lockdown"- for fear of raising and dashing expectations too quickly. Remember, they've (the studio and the PTB) raised lofty expectations before only to have very lukewarm receptions to the end product.

4) Given all of the shake-ups and shuffling happening at WB and the CW with the top brass, the fact that Supergirl was granted a sixth season to conclude her story on her terms is a dramatic feat in itself. It could be that the PTB finally heard the fans and read the writing on the wall regarding how it was faring, and made their necessary moves in their own way. Everything happens for a reason even if we aren't aware of what the reason(s) might be.

5) The show will conclude. Yes. That much we do know. But, what we do not know and cannot know, is what will come next and when. It is possible that another iteration of Supergirl will come down the pipe at some point in the future (be it a feature film, an animated work, or another medium altogether).

So, the bottom line is this: Don't worry about what hasn't happened yet and trust that everyone involved in making the show what it is, will do their part to make Season 6 memorable for the fans and the cast and crews alike.

I am concerned as well. I want the show to end on a high note. I think they should block out 2 short arcs as opposed to one long one. It looks like the final season will bleed into tge 21-22 season timetable anyway. So why not a 19 episode season 6 and a 10 episode season 7 filmed back to back...

If the can turn in phenomenal episodes at the end of the season, they can do better during the season. We need ver tight oversight for these final episodes. I fear Melissa will have a small presence in early episodes if she doesn't return to work until January.

I've been hoping for the "two shorter seasons" approach for some time.

In any case, I'd like them to wrap up the season five arc and move on to the new storyline as quickly as possible.

Here's the interview snippet where Melissa confirms she returns to set in January.It was with InStyle.

https://twitter.com/heartsupergirl/status/1322210198791065601

CW episodes aren't taking quite twice as long as normal, as someone mentioned. Flash is currently filming Episode 3, and started filming their season on October 9th. So while it's slower, it's not THAT slow.

I'm imagining that, aside from whatever Melissa's role is, the cast and crew will have 5-6 episodes in the can by the winter break, as they started on October 13th.

What remains to be seen is how they are working around Melissa's absence. Are they writing her off for 5-6 episodes? Are they going to backtrack all the way to episode 1 and have Melissa film all her scenes for the backlog of episodes, en masse, starting in January? (This sounds feasible, but puts the entire strain of production on Melissa until she catches up to the others). This is part of why I'm skeptical, this season. Either we lose our lead for a number of episodes, or they run her ragged trying to catch her up. Neither situation is ideal.

Things really are up in the air, at this point. But what I can say is this: If they do write Melissa off for a number of episodes, I can say with confidence that I have extremely minimal interest in episodes that don't feature Supergirl. It's filler, to me.

It's all speculation, but we'll see what happens.

I was just watching the newest TheDCTVshow video.It was a speculation video about the casting of a local actor for Supergirl Season 6.

But in the comments section,a poster dropped some info on the episode Chyler is directing.

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.

Sounds like we are getting atteast one more flashback to a young Kara & Alex this season.

Cool, I was hoping we would get a flashback episode. It’s probably the most fan approved way to do with very little Melissa. Thanks to Izabela and Olivia’s perfect portrayals “Midvale” is a fan favorite. And having Chyler direct it means she doesn’t have to direct herself too much. Months ago Helen Slater did say she was scheduled I’ll bet this is what she was talking about.

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.
