Production
[

Development
[
edit
]
By September 2014,
Warner Bros. Television
was looking to create a television series centered around
Kara Zor-El / Supergirl
. Executive producers for the series include
Greg Berlanti
(also a creator/producer for
Arrow
and
The Flash
),
Ali Adler
, who were both writing the script, and
Berlanti Productions
' Sarah Schechter.
DC Comics
'
Geoff Johns
was also expected to be part of the project. Titles under consideration for the series included
Super
and
Girl
.
[60]
Berlanti confirmed the show shortly after, and stated it was in development and had yet to be pitched to networks.
[61]
On September 20, it was announced that
CBS
had landed
Supergirl
with a series commitment,
[62]
with an expected premiere in 2015 of the
2015?16 television season
.
[30]
The show was officially picked up to series on May 6, 2015.
[63]
On November 30, 2015, CBS ordered an additional seven episodes of
Supergirl
, for a full season of 20 episodes.
[64]
Writing
[
edit
]
In January 2015, CBS Entertainment chairwoman
Nina Tassler
revealed the show would be a procedural, saying, "There will be [crime] cases, but what [executive producers] Ali Adler and Greg Berlanti pitched was a real series arc for her. The beauty of it is now with shows like
The Good Wife
and
Madam Secretary
, you can have serialized story elements woven into a case of the week. She's a crime solver, so she's going to have to solve a crime."
[65]
In July 2015, Adler spoke on how much influence
Superman
would have on the show, saying, "Our prototype is the way the president is seen on
Veep
. It's certainly [inspired by] so much of what
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
' character goes through. Ultimately, this is a show about Supergirl and we really want to see it through her lens."
[66]
Casting
[
edit
]
For the role of Kara Zor-El / Supergirl, the producers wanted a Caucasian actress aged between 22 and 26 years.
[67]
In January 2015, it was announced by
The Hollywood Reporter
that
Melissa Benoist
would star as the character.
[68]
Benoist later revealed that auditioning for the part "was a long, drawn-out, three-month process";
[69]
she was the first actress looked at for the role,
[70]
although
Claire Holt
and
Gemma Atkinson
were also considered.
[71]
[72]
In the same month,
Mehcad Brooks
was cast as James Olsen, based on the character
Jimmy Olsen
.
[26]
Unlike the comics, where the same character is portrayed as a Caucasian and goes by "Jimmy", this version is African-American and goes by "James". Brooks described this as a form of "
intermixing of races
", differing from the 1940s where "white things were white, black things were black. Latino things were Latino".
[73]
In February,
Chyler Leigh
was cast as
Alex Danvers
,
[27]
an original creation for the series.
[74]
In the same month,
David Harewood
and
Calista Flockhart
were cast as
Hank Henshaw
and
Cat Grant
, respectively.
[27]
[30]
It was eventually revealed that Harewood's character was actually
J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter
impersonating Henshaw.
[29]
In March,
Jeremy Jordan
was cast as
Winslow "Winn" Schott
.
[28]
The character was written for the series as the son of
Winslow Schott / Toyman
, unlike the comics where Toyman's son is
Anton Schott
.
[75]
Filming
[
edit
]
In February 2015, it was announced that
Andrew Kreisberg
, co-creator of
Arrow
and
The Flash
, had joined the series as a writer and executive producer;
[76]
and
Arrow
/
The Flash
and
Smallville
alum
Glen Winter
was announced to be directing the pilot.
[77]
Principal photography
for the pilot took place from March 4
[78]
to March 29, 2015.
[79]
Filming locations included the Warner Bros. lot, where
Lois and Clark
was shot.
[80]
Each episode cost approximately $3 million to broadcast, which is one of the highest license fees ever for a first year show.
[81]
Filming
wrapped
in March 2016.

Critical response
[

The
review aggregator
website
Rotten Tomatoes
reported a 92% approval rating with an average rating of 7.53/10 based on 71 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "Melissa Benoist shines as Superman's plucky little cousin in
Supergirl
, a family-friendly comic-book adaptation that ditches cynicism for heart."
[109]
Metacritic
, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 75 out of 100 based on 33 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
[110]
Max Nicholson of
IGN
gave the season a score of 7.3 out of 10, along with the verdict, "While Supergirl's first season disappointed in several key areas -- namely its villains and romantic subplots -- Supergirl herself was spot-on, and the story offered several surprising twists (e.g., Hank Henshaw as J'onn J'onzz). Yes, not all episodes were winners, but when the series flew, it soared, especially in terms of emotional impact."
[111]
Reviewing the season as a whole, Colin Campbell of
Polygon
criticized the costumes, fight sequences, the ludicrous villains, the predictable nature of the plot, and felt that the title character was not "Super enough", but noted that "unless your interest is in seeing yet another comic-book franchise transferred reverently to the screen they're of only marginal concern."
[112]
Evan Valentine of
Collider
ranked Supergirl eighth in his list of the worst and best superhero television series of 2015 and wrote, "Aside from presenting the best Supergirl we've seen in live action with Melissa Benoist [...] it managed to capture a sense of fun among the cast that was infectious."

, the episode "How Does She Do It?", which features content similar to the attacks and was originally scheduled to air as the fourth episode of the season on November 16, 2015, was pulled from its scheduled airing. In its place, the episode "Livewire", which was originally scheduled to air as the fifth episode on November 23, 2015, was aired.
[5]
"How Does She Do It?" then aired as the fifth episode on November 23.
[6]
For the season's home media release, the episodes were restored to their original production order,
[7]
which is how the episodes are presented here.
