Supergirl Season 6 Info/News/Speculation

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.

Even I, who have admittedly been a stick in the mud regarding season 6 being the final season, it falling under COVID restrictions, and having Melissa absent for such a large portion of it, can admit my excitement to have young Kara and Alex back. Those 2 are absolutely charming.

My wish (which wont happen) is that they would write adult Kara off for a series of episodes, for some sort of illness or defeat, and have a time travel story where teenage Kara must come to the present and take her place for the interim episodes.

It won't happen, but one can dream.

Regardless, PUMPED to have Izabela and Oliva back on set.

Glad to see the "younger" Danver sisters return, although the younger ones would be college age adults at least. Many fans have wanted this... I was hoping a legends crossover with the younger and present day Danvers.

Hopefully news will filter in soon about how they will work Melissa into the episodes they are filming before she returns.

They must be planning to return Supergirl to the lineup in Spring or it will bleed into the 2021-22 season, unless they plan to double up on episodes in the summer. I guess they could pull a Supernatural and split the final season between this season and next.

Looking forward to some substantial news early in the new year.

I'm presuming it will bleed into the 2021-22 season. The filming isn't slated to end until August, which is one month after the shows normally end their summer hiatus. I think season 6 will likely end up starting around April or May. And if the production schedule showing them wrapping in August is accurate, I'm estimating our final episodes will be around early October. It's possible Supergirl might end right as the other shows begin their next seasons.

That's one benefit to this being the final season. They don't need to worry about running into their summer hiatus, or getting a break before their next season.

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.

David Ramsey To Direct, Return As John Diggle & Mystery Character In the CW’s Arrowverse

EXCLUSIVE: David Ramsey (aka John Diggle) will be busy both behind and in front of the camera for the CW. Ramsey, who most recently starred in Arrow as John Diggle/Spartan will return to direct five episodes in the DC Universe, including the new series Superman & Lois, and Supergirl. Additionally, Ramsey will guest star in five episodes across the Arrowverse, returning as fan favorite John Diggle in Superman & Lois, Supergirl, The Flash and Batwoman, along with a mystery role in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which is being kept under wraps.

Ramsey made his directorial debut on Arrow in 2018 and directed a second episode during the series’ final season.

In the series finale of Arrow, Ramsey’s John Diggle moved to Metropolis after finding an emerald ring, presumably the power ring worn by Green Lantern in the pages of DC Comics. There has been speculation that Diggle might return at some point as the Green Lantern, so stay tuned.

“I remain in awe of the imprint these shows have had on television and I’ve been blessed for the better part of a decade to be a part of them both in front of and behind the camera,” said Ramsey. “To say I’m excited beyond belief to return to the Berlantiverse would be an understatement. I can’t wait to continue telling these stories.”

Ramsey’s previous credits include Blue Bloods, opposite Tom Selleck and the role of Anton Biggs on Dexter. He also drew critical praise for his starring role as Muhammad Ali in the television biopic Ali: An American Hero. On the feature side, Ramsey’s credits include a starring role in the Rodrigo Garcia directed Mother and Child, as well as Pay It Forward and Draft Day. Ramsey is repped by manager Nils Larsen at Integral Artists, APA, and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman Smelkinson & Christopher.

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.

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...

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 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.

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

Quoting comic fan:

I agree, that would be fun to see. Hopefully she could work it in around any other projects she has in the future. It's all speculative of course, but fun to think about during the hiatus. I am reminded of the title of one movie by the late, great Sean Connery: "Never Say Never Again."

Yeah,good way to cover themselves.lol However it shakes out,they can just point to either article and say they were right.

If Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton can come back as Batman(in the same movie too),who knows what can happen.

Was just watching the latest The DCTVShow podcast.Apparently David Harewood will be directing another episode this season after the Christmas break.

Supergirl goes on its Christmas break in 6 days and will return(with Melissa) to filming January 18(two week of quarantine prior to this)Melissa also posted a Instagram story revealing that she's begun training/getting into shape for her return as Supergirl.

Jesse Rath posted a photo from the currently filming episode 6,directed by Chyler and featuring Izabella and Olivia.

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.

Reign was not a favorite of mine but she may be back in season 6 or speculation is suggesting as much....

Still no solid idea on a premiere date. But Melissa finally returns to set, in January. I'm hoping we'll start getting some BTS teases.

Kinda hoping for another update to the suit, this year.

Was just listening to the latest DCTVshow podcast.It seems Melissa will be arriving in Vancouver probablty tomorrow to begin her two week quarantine.They also reported that Melissa's stunt double has been recently posting pics of herself for the show that is pointing to Melissa/Kara losing the bangs for season 6.I know back in October that Melissa was sporting non bangs when she was doing videos related to the election. We'll see soon possibly once filming restarts later this month probably via on location shooting,twitter/Instagram photos and possible official photo releases.

I will be ecstatic if they lose the bangs. I'm not a big fan of the current costume, but I had the inkling, all year, that it would have looked a lot better with the previous hairstyle.

The bangs actually looked pretty cute with some of Kara and Melissa's hairstyles...but the way they worked into Supergirl's hairstyle just didn't look good, to me.

Either way...so eager and excited to hopefully get some BTS stuff, this month...or hopefully February if not this month.

I wasn't bothered by the bangs or new suit. The new suit seemed more practical, even if the skirt was more iconic. Her suit is nano technology. I am not sure why it can't simply alternate in styles. She could have multiple suit variations.

I understand new shows on CW will be capped at 13 episodes, so when Superman and Walker air their episodes, the schedule will have room for Supergirl. Probably late May or June if the try to avoid reruns and preemption.

I do not see how they can complete and schedule 20 episodes of Supergirl before the 2021-22 season starts. I am thinking we will get season 6A this season and 6B will air sometimes next season.

Hopefully some meaningful information will start flowing in soon.
