With pilot filming season about to hit, casting had to hit very soon and the lead role for the Supergirl TV series on CBS has done just that. The show has cast Melissa Benoist as the lead where she’ll play Kara Zor-El. Benoist may not be known to many, but she stepped into Glee a few years back during the transitional phase as the core cast started to move past the high school years and she was one of the new freshman characters. With the big push that CBS will have behind this, and the higher comfort level TV networks have with costumes these days on top of the promotion that will be out there over the season for the Batman Vs. Superman movie, it’s expected that this will be a very strong series in that regard. The pilot is being written by Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler. Berlanti has been responsible for both Arrow and The Flash on The CW.
Plot concept: The series centers on Kara Zor-El (Benoist). Born on the planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she’s been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin, Superman. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.
