October 19, 2015: One Week Away from the Premiere of "Supergirl"

Supergirl With one week to go before the premiere of "Supergirl" on CBS, the cast count down to the show's pilot episode in this short video...

Meanwhile, Yahoo! TV has posted the following preview, introducing the main cast and their thoughts on the show...

    We get to hear from Melissa Benoist, who plays Kara, aka Supergirl. There's also Chyler Leigh, who plays her human sister, Alex Danvers. Calista Flockhart is the prickly and powerful Cat Grant, who both exemplifies and exploits "girl power" (she is the one who gives Supergirl her name). Mehcad Brooks co-stars as the former Superman sidekick turned Pulitzer Prize-winning love interest James Olsen. And Greg Berlanti - who developed this serieswith Ali Adler and Andrew Kreisberg, and also executive produces Arrow and The Flash - gives us a quick rundown of the setup. First, there's Kara's family - well, families: One on Krypton and one on Earth. Then, there's her work situation, which involves "the boss from Hell;" and finally there's her superhero life, which begins when the Kryptonian criminals of Fort Rozz come out of hiding.

    "She stands for bravery and hope and positivity personified," says Benoist of her character. "She's a beacon for a lot of people, me included."

After 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be, on the series premiere of SUPERGIRL, Monday, Oct. 26 (8:30-9:30 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network. The series moves to its regular time period (8:00-9:00 PM) on Monday, Nov. 2.
