Supergirl Season 6 Info/News/Speculation

The pants aren't going anywhere....

The pants don't bother me. I thought her original suit was best but I am ok with change. Considering the suit is nanobot technology, it seems they could incorporate various settings with different super suit variations for different occasions. This could potentially satisfy the broadest spectrum of fans while not forcing Melissa into skirts on the colder days. Hopefully we will start to get new season info in the upcoming months.

I agree. I merely wanted to express how I didn't like the fit or aesthetic of THIS particular suit with pants. For that reason, I wouldn't mind another upgrade/modification.

I do prefer the original suit more but agree with others.,the pants are here to stay.I could see tweaks happening though.For example,IMO adding some red to the pants would be a improvement.

Sounds like a reasonable number. Time will tell how reliable the sources are.

This is a generally reliable source. 16 episodes sounds reasonable and in line with what I was expecting. They said filming will start on 9/28 which is the day Jesse said would be his first day so that tracks. We’ll see if/how long they go without Melissa. I’m beginning to think she’s already had the baby and they’ve just not made a public announcement. She did that IG live nine weeks ago, on 7/7 and said she was close.

It’s interesting that Flash is suppose to have 17 and they’ve got a lot more of last seasons plot to finish than Supergirl. When the network President said full 20+ episode seasons last May I thought that was optimistic at best. Supergirl isn’t winding up starting later than the other shows I don’t think anyone thought that would happen. I don’t think it’s going to change but the reasonable back in May, due to the pregnancy, decision to have Supergirl be “mid season” isn’t really applicable anymore.

I would agree with that myself

I'm pretty happy with 16 episodes if that is accurate.

I always thought 20 + episodes this season was unrealistic.There was some speculation that the seasons for Supergirl & The Flash are ending when they are so Melissa & Grant can participate in the Batwoman/Superman & Lois crossover.That probably would be easier especially this year to have their shows already wrapped before filming the crossover.Interesting idea anyway even if it's just speculation.

Keeping Supergirl mid-season may still make sense since they have so many DC shows and the season isn't starting until Jan.They've got seven DC shows(The Flash,Supergirl,Legends,Black Lightning Batwoman,Stargirl and Superman & Lois).

Have The Flash,Black Lightning,Batwoman,Superman & Lois come out of the gate first.Followed by Supergirl ,Legends and Stargirl.Stargirl could be a summer show again.It did very well this year during that period.

Thinking of crossovers.Probably not for this year but as much and I would love to see a Stargirl/Supergirl and or Stargirl/Flash crossover,what about a Stargirl/Black Lightning crossover?

1)Stargirl and Black Lightning both film in Atlanta so that would be easier to do then a crossover with the Vancouver based shows.

2)In the comics,Jennifer Pierce/Lightning joins the JSA and becomes good friends with Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl.I could certainly see a friendship forming between them on the shows too.

I'm aware that many fans love the crossover stuff but I find it to deep for me. My favorite crossover was the one with the Music Guy which I found to be very enjoyable. I guess I would like to see what they have in mind with the new shows like Stargirl and the rest.
I hope the show doesn't follow the comics concerning Stargirl and not add Lightning to the cast. I would prefer that they build on season 1 which was a blockbuster. No need to add or subtract in season 2. Steady as she goes baby.

I hope yhe Music Meister (Darren Criss) returns at some point.

As Lightning and Stargirl are on different Earths in the CWVerse/Berlantiverse/Arrowverse, you probably won't have to worry... I am hoping they keep the Earths separate and not reopen the Multiverse.

Pretty sure Black Lightning is part of Earth Prime, now. He was in the Hall of Justice with the others at the end of Crisis.

Not sure about the multiverse. I mean...we know it EXISTS...it's just locked off, for whatever narrative reason. I think in the end, it's going to depend on if they want Stargirl to interact with other shows. If they do, they'll find a way to re-introduce the multiverse. If not, they'll keep it separate, since every other CW hero is on Earth Prime.

I think the status quo will stay through this upcoming season. With Supergirl's season starting later, and there not even being a production start date for Stargirl season 2, there is no reason to open up the multiverse this year. Heck, I'm not even sure we're getting ANY crossovers this year. I know they were planning one for Batwoman and Superman/Lois, but that was all prior to Ruby's departure.

Yes... BL is Earth Prime but Stargirl is Earth 2, so I don't see Lightning on Stargirl unless they open the Multiverse up again...

This is from September 11th from David’s IG. He is quarantining for Season 6. The 9/28 start date seems accurate.

Interesting thoughts on this article on Brainy... I am thinking the Big Brain plays into whatever they have planned.

I just thought of something else that could be related to the cancellation. Before the pandemic hit there were talks about a rebooted Supergirl movie coming soon but its not going to be related the show. That being said do you now that the show is ending do you think Melissa could appear in the movie? If so I want a transfer of power ala zordon power rangers or some sort of force ghost(ala Star Wars) from her to the newest Supergirl saying something to the extend of i've had my time in the sun now its your turn to carry the legacy foward when the new supergirl find it in herself to carry the burden of being Supergirl.

Interesting ideas but I doubt it will pan out that way. If the movie eventually gets made, it will likely be a younger portrayal and more in line with what the DCEU are currently doing.

I'm sure that once Season 6 of the current SG show is done, and the pandemic is finally a thing of the past, that they (WB and the associated studio) will focus on a retelling / origin story but using a younger version (as traditionally depicted in the comics) of the character.

Whatever way they will go, it is unlikely that Melissa or the current cast will have any role or say in it since WB tends to keep the film and TV versions separate by a wide margin.

Kevin Smith wants to direct again for the final season. I hope that happens. Bunker Hill was one of my all time favorite episodes.

I could see Melissa doing an uncredited cameo as a bystander in the Supergirl movie, but WB typically keeps its big screen and small screen separate with the exception of Ezra in Crisis. I am curious is Supergirl will be introduced at the end of Zack Snyder's JL cut as been rumored.

Been seeing things online (Instagram) saying the 6th...and last...season, has begun filming.

Without the Supergirl series tbd Supergirl Movie will have an easier time of it for sure...but I would much rather Supergirl be introduced through a Wonder Woman/ Superman combination with Supergirl as a teenager. Something TOTALLY different from the CW series.
