Supergirl is moving to The CW for its second season.
Supergirl joins the other DC Comics properties on the network which includes Arrow, The Flash, iZombie and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
CBS head Les Moonves previously stated that the network planned to renew all of its freshman series, including Supergirl. However, new reports indicate that CBS and Warner Bros. had been sparring over licensing fees.
While the show had the biggest debut of the 2015/2016 season, it lost half of its viewers over the course of the first season. While it remained as one of the networks biggest shows even after losing half of its viewership, the series was very expensive to make. It’s reported that Supergirl costs about $3 million to make per episode (not taking licensing fees into account).
The first season was shot in Los Angeles, but this report indicates that the second season will instead be filmed in Vancouver. Tax incentives in Vancouver will reduce the cost of producing the show.
No details on where The CW will place Supergirl in their timeslot have been revealed. It’s also unknown if any of the cast members will be unwilling to trek to Canada to shoot there.
