This just in DC Comics fans! Remember how we told you CBS was going to be launching their own tv series about Superman’s cousin Supergirl?
Well, Variety is reporting they’ve found their Kara Zor-El, and she’ll be played by Melissa Benoist (Glee, Whiplash). The pilot was written by Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Reportedly the series centers on Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El, who escaped from Krypton amid the planet’s destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous relative. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.
No word yet on when we can expect to see this series on CBS.
