Have no fear, Supergirl is here!
It was just revealed that Superman & Lois will be taking a bit of a break, starting after it’s upcoming fourth episode, Deadline reveals.
The freshman series is pausing it’s schedule due to previous production delays due to Coronavirus. It will return with new episodes on May 18th.
In it’s place, the sixth and final season of Supergirl will premiere it’s first batch of episodes on Tuesday, March 30th. Once Superman & Lois returns in May, Supergirl will take a break and air it’s final episodes later in the summer.
Superman & Lois has already had a huge impact after airing only two episodes. It was just revealed this week, just hours before episode two, that the series has been picked up for a season two. The first episode even broke streaming records for The CW!
If you missed them, we finally got the first look photos of Melissa Benoist on set of Supergirl for the final season.
Melissa Benoist is back to work on the set of Supergirl on Thursday (March 4) in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The 32-year-old actress was joined for scenes by her co-star David Harewood, who plays Martian Manhunter.
This is the first time we’ve seen Melissa out since she welcomed her first child, Huxley, last fall. Her pregnancy pushed back production on the series, and pushed back the premiere date, which has yet to be announced.
That day, David shared a selfie with Melissa, both masked up in between takes.
“Back to work. @melissabenoist #MartianManhunter,” he captioned the photo. Check it out below!
The Supergirl cast actually started working on the upcoming final season back in October, but this is the first time we’ve seen photos of them on set.
If you missed it, though Melissa will be stepping away from Supergirl, this actress has been cast as the character in an upcoming DC movie, making history. Melissa even sent her love and support for the casting!
Melissa Benoist is showing her support for Sasha Calle!
The 32-year-old Supergirl TV actress shared an Instagram story welcoming the new Supergirl to the DC family.

“Cannot wait to see you as SG,” she added. “The world needs as many Supergirls as it can get”
If you missed the news, Sasha has not only been cast as Supergirl for the upcoming The Flash film with Ezra Miller, but she’s also made history as the first Latina Supergirl ever!

Supergirl is coming to an end in 2021!
The hit CW series, starring Melissa Benoist, will end after the show’s upcoming season six.
Production on the series was pushed back for the new season due to Melissa‘s pregnancy, and it will premiere later than the rest of the Arrowverse shows.
She also took to Instagram to confirm the news.
“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,” Melissa wrote.
“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,” she continued.
“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. â™¥ï¸ el mayarah 💪 @supergirlcw,” Melissa concluded.
Supergirl will now be the second Arrowverse show to end, with of course, Arrow being the first earlier this year.
The CW superheroes are wearing masks on these new character posters promoting their returns in 2021!

Just last month, it was announced that Stargirl will get a second season, and move straight to The CW.
It was also revealed this summer that the only crossover event this year will be between Superman & Lois and Batwoman, which will be Javicia Leslie‘s first crossover as the new Batwoman.
Supergirl‘s upcoming season will also be pushed back due to star Melissa Benoist‘s pregnancy!
The schedule for the 2020/2021 season for The CW was announced today (May 14) and there was one show missing from the lineup.
Supergirl has been put on hold a bit longer, due in part to star Melissa Benoist‘s pregnancy, THR reports.
The series is being pushed to premiere mid-season, whenever that happens in 2021, to allow time for Melissa to return after maternity leave.
Taking Supergirl‘s Sunday night time slot is Charmed‘s third season. The reboot is returning to it’s original time, Sunday nights at 9/8c.
Other shows returning mid-season include fellow DC Comic/Arrowverse title DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Dynasty, In the Dark and Roswell, New Mexico, as well as new series Kung Fu and Republic of Sarah.
