The "Supergirl" series will end after season six. Leading actress Melissa Benoist reacted to the end in an emotional post.
The upcoming sixth season will be the last for "Supergirl". The US broadcaster The CW has now announced according to "Variety". The production of the series with Melissa Benoist (31) in the lead role is currently still on hold. Filming is scheduled to continue in Vancouver at the end of September. The last 20 episodes should then be broadcast in 2021.
Melissa Benoist said goodbye to her character: "Just to say that it was an honor to play this iconic character would be an understatement," she wrote on Instagram. "Seeing the huge impact the series had on young girls around the world has always left me humble and speechless. It has given me strength and strength that I didn't know I had to hope for in the darkest of times to find and show that we are stronger together. She changed my life for the better and I am forever grateful for it. "
She is very excited that they can now plan to conclude this amazing trip, says Benoist. "And I can't wait for you to see what we have in store. I promise we'll have a hell of a good final season." In March 2020, Benoist and "Supergirl" colleague Chris Wood, 32, announced that they were expecting a child.
In 2015 the series "Supergirl" about Superman's cousin celebrated its premiere on CBS, since the second season the format can be seen on The CW. It takes place in the same multiverse as the two DC series "Arrow" and "The Flash".
