by | Jul 29, 2016

From The CW and creator Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Arrow”) comes the DC Comics TV series Supergirl, featuring Melissa Benoist in the title role. Also starring Calista Flockhart, Chyler Leigh, Mehcad Brooks and David Harewood, the series returns for season 2 October 10, 2016.

At 12 years old, Kara Zor-El escapes doom on planet Krypton to find protection on Earth with the Danver family, where she grows up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learns to hide the extraordinary powers she shares with her cousin, Superman. Now an adult living in National City and working for media mogul Cat Grant, Kara finds her days of keeping her abilities a secret are over when super-secret agency head Hank Henshaw enlists her to help protect the city’s citizens from threats. Finally coming into her own, Kara must juggle her new responsibilities with her very human relationships.

Following his casting announcement just over a month ago, we now have our first official look at Tyler Hoechlin as Superman from the upcoming second season of Supergirl! (Check it out below). He looks great, the costume looks great and fans should expect to see him as early as the season 2 premiere on October 10th. If you’re curious – watch the 80’s comedy ‘Everybody Wants Some!!’, which also featured Hoechlin and was pretty damn good I must say… Here’s my review on that.
