Season 4 Supergirl Moves to Sunday

The CW has released their Fall schedule for the 2018-2019 season. As many already knew, The CW decided to extend their original programing to include Sundays. Today we are learning that to spearhead that new night of TV, Supergirl herself will do the heavy lifting! The Girl of Steel has been tapped to take on the new 8:00pm slot! This is a big leap on The CW's part. It shows that the network continues to have faith in the show and the fact that they've selected Supergirl to take on this new night as well as be the feeder show for their new reboot series, "Charmed", only cements in our minds that Supergirl will be around for a while! Superhero fans will delight as well knowning now that Supergirl is Sunday followed by Legends at 8:00pm and Arrow at 9:00pm on Monday and The Flash at 8:00pm and Black Lightning at 9:00pm Tuesday. A perfect three day block of Superhero tv for the masses!

Let us know what you think of the move in the comments below and in the forum! Keep us your advertisement free source for Supergirl news and visit the support page!

When the series moves to Sunday I hope that we get a stellar lead female villain worthy of testing Kara's limits. Emerald Empress could be one choice or the return of Silver Banshee played by Italia Ricci to return for some kind of surprise arc with Lena Luthor heading towards and evil path to form a secret alliance with Silver Banshee as Lena forms her own secret group #Checkmate. This would make her a very formidable force and more dangerous than Cadmus. I think would be more interesting exciting arc

LOL I do the same thing Kelly, wait about 15 minuets so I can FF through the commercials. I inevitably wind up rewinding a bit to catch something I missed or just because I want to see it again so it still takes an hour. Supergirl is the only show I watch semi live everything else get watched days or more later. Sunday’s are gonna mean I start watching a bit later 8:30ish but that’s a non issue.


I watch Supergirl, Madame Secretary, Criminal Minds, Chicago Fire, Amazing Race and Survivor all semi-live. Everything else gets binged in the Summer.

An actress I like to see appear in season 4 is #AlysonMichalka from the CW series #IZombie. With her show coming to an end next year I like to see the actress become another new and original reoccurring DC villain to fit into the Supergirl rogues. Which antagonist from the DC library do you think the actress would be best suited to portray? I think she would look so awesome as #InsectQueen I think she would be such a cool villain for Kara to deal with if introduced in season 4


She would be a great Lana Lang...

This is a major move for Supergirl. She will be up against ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos, Fox's animation block including the longest running show on TV The Simpsons, NFL Football on NBC, plus CBS I think will still have NCIS: LA. But, not a lot of people were tuning in to the NFL on NBC last season and that may continue.

Also, you have the World Series to worry about if there is a game set for Sunday on Fox. Oh and speaking of the NFL, there is the Super Bowl. So it's possible, Supergirl could go against the Super Bowl.

But this move gives new meaning to the term Super Sunday. I expect a cute vignette from Melissa and crew touting the move sometime this summer.


First of all how is AFM still even watched by anyone. I can get all those and better funny home video clips on Youtube minus the commercial and corny not funny host. Seriously, I'm lost as to how it gets any viewers.

I would think Football and Simpsons more or less are not the main viewing demographic of Supergirl or Charmed so I don't think they should be a big deal.

Im somewhat optimistic this might increase Supergirl's viewer numbers.

Melissa's on Broadway until August 4th so filming will start about a month later than last year. I'd tentatively say October 14th or even the 21st to give more time for filming.


I hope they don't start filming S4 till Melissa's back from Broadway, an early July start like S3 may mean she wouldn't be in the 1st couple of episodes and I definitely don't want that.

I remember they started filming S2 E1 (which screened October 10) about July 25 so a August 6 start for S4 could mean the episode would be ready for screening on October 14.

Very nice of you Brierrose to think of us International members. Currently here in New Zealand the show becomes available on a Tuesday @ 6pm (just a couple of hours after it's finished screening on the U.S. West Coast). This move to Sunday in the U.S. will mean it will be available Monday @ 6pm for viewing so that's a nice way to start the week with an episode of Supergirl.

I have a question, in the U.S. is Sunday the start of the TV viewing week or the end?, is Season 4 likely to premiere Sunday October 7 or Sunday October 14? (based on when The CW normally start their seasons).

So New Zealand isn't signifyingly delayed from the final US viewing. I believe Eire-El said Ireland is a week behind the US.

The start of the TV week depends on the Network, CW wants to heavily promote Sundays so I wouldn't be surprised if Supergirl started the networks season. Melissa's on Broadway until August 4th so filming will start about a month later than last year. I'd tentatively say October 14th or even the 21st to give more time for filming. I don’t think CW will want to delay starting the new Sunday schedule past the 21st but at the same time Supergirl’s gonna be way behind in filming, compared to other shows, and it’s the show that takes the longest. A positive thing about the hiatus is hopefully a shorter summer break.

It's a good thing for our members in Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, and India (if I left a country out I apologize) if they get to watch closer to us in the USA.

The CW's marketing chief, Rick Haskins states that the marketing push for the Sunday night shows will begin early. He then revealed that the stars of Charmed and Supergirl would be busy recording promos for "CW Sundays" next week to air on local affiliates as soon as possible; a national campaign will come closer to the launch date.


Well, they sure get to work fast don't they? So I guess I'd better keep an eye out, at least on WPIX for these promos. And with Melissa being in New York for her Broadway appearance in "Beautiful" if they have the space to do it, she can go to the channel 11 Studios on 220 East 42nd Street, the former Daily News building (you know about the Superman movie connection) and do a promo for the CW. But I also wish she would do something for the station's 70th birthday which is coming up next month...even something to go on social media.


She is one special talented young lady but her plate is full. She has to be a little nervous performing on Broadway which I will be attending on June 13th. Very excited.
