Now that topic will be shown more by example and less by speeches and dialogue.
Maybe even go a little geekier on The CW?
For us, its a really exciting time for the show.
How different will the show be now that production has been moved to Vancouver?
Part of that is the job of the cinematographers and weve discussions with them about that.
As revealed duringThe Flash-Supergirlcrossover last year, Supergirl hails from a different universe.

Whats going on with Kara personally and professionally this season?
For this season, shes feeling really good about herself as Supergirl.
What am I supposed to do with my career?

How does he do it?
And Clark says, Im making it up as I go, too.
Its all about balancing it and its all a day-to-day thing.
Just because I make it look easy, doesnt mean that it is.
So Kara is really growing up this season, thats really her journey.
What brings Superman to National City?
The two of them actually show up to the same crisis.
What brings Mon-El (Chris Wood) to Earth?
The destruction of Krypton also resulted in a very bad day for Daxam.
Thats how he escaped that cataclysm and came to Earth.
Hes fresh off the boat as far as hes concerned.
He got into a pod on Daxam and then the next day was on Earth.
In a way, Mon-El coming here, shes finally now getting to fill that original mission.
Can they trust him?
Can you trust anybody?
At TCA, you teased that a character would beexploring their sexualitythis season.
What role is she going to play this year?
So thats how shell be coming into the lives of our characters.
So Maggie is a strident advocate for alien rights.
So thats how she comes into everyones lives.
Whats up for Alex (Chyler Leigh) this season?
In the first two episodes, Alex is struggling with Clark being in town.
It sets up an interesting conflict between her and Kara in the first couple of episodes.
Talk about Project Cadmus and whether its the big bad this season.
Theyre fanatics, theyre true believers.
James is going to struggle with a new position at work.
Winn is actually going to work at the DEO.
Its interesting for him because hes dealing with survivors guilt.
Why was I the one who got away and why was I the only one who got to live?
The arrival of this Martian is really going to initiate the flood gates.
Will Lucy Lane (Jenna Dewan Tatum) return?
We dont have any immediate plans, but thats not because we arent in love with Jenna.
Is Laura Benanti coming back at all?
Yes, she is.
Shes coming back as the A.I.
But its actually a funny scene with the A.I.
Talk about bringing Lynda Carter on as the President of the United States.
Like I said earlier, were exploring the idea that there are aliens on Earth.
Its an interesting take on the immigration debate.
Were really excited about that script and were so excited to have her.
I got to talk to Lynda Carter on the phone.
Lastly, what themes will you explore this year?
Really this year is about coming into ones own and becoming who you are.
In a way, all of the characters are dealing with that.
