Supergirl Season 6 Info/News/Speculation

https://tvline.com/2021/03/26/supergirl-chris-wood-mon-el-not-returning-final-season

... although, I suspect if they were planning to bring him back, they'd keep it under wraps. My thought are still that she will travel to the future and join Mon-el and Winn as part of the Legion.

Jessica Queller’s being cagey and of coarse wants to keep things under wraps. I would think logistically Chris would be an easy guest star. I assume he moved to Vancouver with Melissa and their son, by extension he’s already in the shows COVID “bubble”.

Here is a sneak peek of Tuesday's premiere. From The CW Supergirl Instagram page.

Regarding the TVLine comments about Mon-El.

Yeah,Chris would be the easiest guest star since he's up there with Melissa and I don't think he has any other projects lined up.But also agree,they wouldn't give that info up this early before the series ends.I am glad they are planning for some returning faces though.

With recent information I’m cautiously optimistic that this isn’t what they’re doing and the series won’t end with Kara’s death or even have her preparing for her imminent death. I really didn’t like the first 8 episodes of Flash season six where Barry was preparing for his death in Crisis. I’m all for Kara having a quarter life crisis and contemplating her mortality and what she wants.

Of the many ways the series could end I would be truly disappointed if ends with Kara’s death. This is a show with an underlying theme of hope and to date no non villain has died heck, compared to other shows there’s been hardly any deaths

Really pulling for you being right.

Great interview.This stood out to me.



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.

@comic fan Very curious about what her one request was.


Me too!

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.

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..

Spoiler alert on this article. Jessica Queller made a rare slip up and reveled Alex’s vigilante/hero name. I heard the name had been decided on and would’ve been said if the season hadn’t been cut short. I expect it will be said tonight.

Kelly goes /redacted/

Cause that turned out so well before...

Sigh.

As far as I'm concerned the Guardian Character is dead. Someone once said that an error does not become a mistake unless it's corrected. Oh Brother here we go again.

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!

There are couple of new bits in this.

They confirmed they probably are not going to be able to get Calista Flockhart back due to COVID restrictions which sounds like is why they are doing the young Cat in the two flashback episodes.

They had some interesting bits about Andrea's storyline this season.

I've been hard on the show, the past couple of seasons but I actually dug last night's premiere. It jumped right into the story, balanced the characters, and had very real stakes for the Girl of Steel.

Even know we knew it wouldn't last, that moment when Lex kills Kara (however short lived) felt really powerful.

And yeah...I'm really excited to see how we explore the Phantom Zone with Kara.

Because of Covid, we live in the age of zoom. I think they could get Calista to cameo at least,, if they wanted to... she wouldn't need to go to Canada

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.

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.

There’s a general consensus that sending Kara to the Phantom Zone is the best way to handle Melissa’s maternity leave. And I agree it has great potential as a storyline too. I’m very optimistic that we won’t have any Kara less episodes even if we have a Melissa less episode or two. Melissa said she wasn’t there for the episode Chyler directed which is believed to be the flashback episode 6. I think it’s possible that Melissa isn’t in the two flashback episodes at all. Production wise cutting in scenes with Kara in the Phantom Zone is probably easier and certainly from a visual perspective better than straight cut away scenes. I hope that somehow the time spent filming the flashback episodes compensated for the time Melissa spent filming away from the rest of the cast and by say the beginning of episode 7 things are “normal”. Maybe the rest of the cast got an extra long holiday break even if they weren’t able to travel.

I’m fine if Kara’s adventures in the Phantom Zone is the B story but I hope there’s parallels between what’s happening to Kara and what’s happening to the others. I don’t think Kara will be brought back any sooner than the end of episode 4. That means we have at a minimum almost three episodes for the emotional fallout on the other characters. It’s unusual to have that long to see the characters process something like a possible death before having to move the story along. I like to see each of them in a different stage of grief like Alex is in the bargaining stage while J’onn is in the anger stage.
