Supergirl ' Moves To the CW , Renewed For Season 2

Supergirl is headed to The CW for its second
season, EW reports.
The network, which already hosts DC Comics
hits The Flash , iZombie , Arrow , and DC's Legends of
Tomorrow , will see the Girl of Steel join its
already-overflowing lineup next fall.
Earlier this year, The CW renewed all 11 of its
ongoing series. Containment, currently being
billed as a miniseries event, was originally
speculated as a contender for a slot on next
year's schedule, but with Supergirl being added
to the schedule that might be a hard thing to
manage.
Les Moonves, the head of CBS, had previously
said that the network planned to renew all of its
freshman series, including Supergirl , but recent
reports have suggested that the network has
been sparring with Warner Bros. over licensing
fees.
Supergirl had the biggest debut of the 2015-2016
season, but lost about half of its viewers over
the course of its first season. While it remained
one of CBS's biggest shows, the cost of making
the series is significant. Even before licensing
fees, it's reported that Supergirl costs about $3
million per episode.
Rumors have indicated that the show will head
to Vancouver, where tax incentives will reduce
the cost of production. In its first
season, Supergirl filmed in Los Angeles. It's not
yet clear whether any members of the cast
might not make the trek to Canada to film, or
what time slot The CW will place Supergirl in.
The CW would not confirm for EW whether the
reported move to Vancouver will actually
happen.
One of the highest-rated and most buzzed-about
episodes of Supergirl this year was its crossover
with The Flash . A move to The CW -- especially if
the movie is also physical and production is
relocated to Vancouver -- likely would mean an
increase in crossover opportunities with the DC
Universe set up at the network. Supergirl shares
executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew
Kreisberg with Arrow, The Flash , and DC's Legends
of Tomorrow .
