CBS' SUPERGIRL Pilot Episode Leaks Six Months Early
Many weren't expecting to see Melissa Benoist suit up as Kara Zor-El until November, but it looks like a few pirates had something else in mind. According to sources, the Supergirl pilot has leaked.
The pilot episode for CBS' hotly anticipated superhero drama Supergirl, which stars Melissa Benoist (Whiplash) as the titular heroine, has leaked.
However, unlike last year's leaked pilots for CW's The Flash and NBC's Constantine, the Supergirl pilot is available in full 1080p HD and is surprisingly watermark-free. The source of the leak is yet-to-be determined, but Variety confirms that the leaked episode went live around 3 a.m. ET this morning. At the time of this posting, CBS had yet to respond to the leak.
Out of respect to the network, CBM will not be posting the leaked content.
The hour-long drama centers on Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.
