THE FLASH and SUPERGIRL Crossover Episode Confirmed!
We've been hearing about a possible crossover between The Flash and Supergirl ever since Supergirl was first officially announced. Well, after a lot of back and fourth talk and conflicting information we've heard over the past several months, it has now been confirmed that the crossover between these two great shows is actually going to happen!
The CW has announced that The Flash star Grant Gustin will guest star in an episode of Supergirl and that episode is set to air on March 28th. There are no major plot details that have been revealed yet, but it will "bring Barry Allen (Gustin) to National City to meet titular heroine Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist)." Executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg had this to say in a joint statement:
“We are so incredibly excited to announce something that we have dreamed of happening since we started making ‘Supergirl’ – The Flash and Supergirl are teaming up! We want to thank Grant Gustin for making the time to come visit (on top of his already immense workload) and all of the folks at CBS, The CW, Warner Bros. and DC for working this out. And finally thanks to the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen. It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone’s enthusiasm and support.”
Before this, it didn't sound like we would see a crossover like this happen anytime soon. Berlanti's tone was a lot different when he previously explained:
“[CBS] has said publicly at this point they’re going to keep her to themselves. I always approach the shows as a fan first, so I would love to see [a crossover]. I think in success, all things are possible. But there’s a lot that would have to happen before everybody might say yes to that.”
It's great to know that everything that needed to come together actually came together and that everyone said yes! These are two great shows with fantastic characters that I'm really enjoying and it's exciting to know that this crossover is officially happening. It will be interesting to see where it leads.
