Supergirl has now been confirmed for season 6, after season 5 wrapped up earlier this year. If you’re looking to find out when the show will be returning and how you can tune in, then keep on reading.
When does Supergirl season 6 return?
In the US, Supergirl will return in 2021 – though the month is still unspecified. The show hasn’t yet started production of the season, as the CW’s entire release schedule is delayed due to the ongoing pandemic.
Sadly, the next season will be the final one, making this the second show to leave in the ArrowVerse after Arrow. The statement was released on Entertainment Weekly , and then later followed up on by lead actress, Melissa Benoist.
View this post on Instagram To say it has been an honor portraying this iconic character would be a massive understatement. Seeing the incredible impact the show has had on young girls around the world has always left me humbled and speechless. She’s had that impact on me, too. She’s taught me strength I didn’t know I had, to find hope in the darkest of places, and that we are stronger when we’re united. What she stands for pushes all of us to be better. She has changed my life for the better, and I’m forever grateful. I’m so excited that we get to plan our conclusion to this amazing journey, and I cannot wait for you to see what we have in store. I promise we’re going to make it one helluva final season. ♥️ el mayarah 💪 @supergirlcw A post shared by Melissa Benoist (@melissabenoist) on Sep 22, 2020 at 1:09pm PDT
