International SUPERGIRL Promo Includes More Krypton and Background Story
We have a new international trailer to share with you for CBS' new Supergirl series. It offers us new footage from the show that includes more insight into Kara's time on Krypton. It seems like since the first trailer was released last month, people have warmed up a little more to the series, and that might be because of the positive buzz that has come from the leaked pilot episode. .
In the vast DC Comics Universe of super heroes, the rich mythology of Superman, the planet Krypton and the House of El is perhaps the most famous and instantly recognizable. Enter Supergirl (Melissa Benoist). Born Kara Zor-El on the doomed planet Krypton, the preteen Kara escaped at the same time as the infant Kal-El, but didn't arrive on Earth until many years later after being lost in the Phantom Zone. Protected and raised by her adopted family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to hide the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin. Years later, at age 24, living in National City and working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart), Kara has spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always destined to be.
The cast of the series also includes Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El, Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant, Chyler Leigh as Alexandra “Alex” Danvers, Jeremy Jordan as Winslow “Winn” Schott, and David Harewood as Hank Henshaw, and then there's Dean Cain and Helen Slater, who have mystery roles.
The pilot episode of Supergirl was written by Ali Adler (No Ordinary Family) and Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash). The series will premiere Monday, October 26th at a special time (8:30-9:30pm) before it moves to its regular time slot on Monday, November 2nd from 8:00-9:00pm.
