Pilot Season: SUPERGIRL Pick Up Expected, CW Superhero Spinoff Set For Upfront Preview
The TV season is wrapping up and all eyes are on the upcoming TV upfronts. It looks like next year could see even more superhero's grace your screens with Supergirl and the CW's The Flash/ Arrow spinoff.
TV executives will soon take to New York City for the television upfronts where they will announce the fates of your favourites shows. Current superhero favourites The Flash and Arrow have already been picked up for their second and fouth seasons respectively but will they be joined by a third DC Comics based show? The spinoff show, rumoured to be titled Legends of Tomrrow, will be headed to the CW either in the fall or mid season. Sources have revealed to Variety that a first look trailer will be shown at the networks presentation. Sticking with DC based shows, rumours that Supergirl is movng to the CW are untrue as the youth orientated network cannot meet the production costs. Melissa Benoist's Supergirl will likely recieve a full season order if CBS decides to go ahead with the project.
On the Marvel side of things, their is still no word on the fates of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter. A number of sites are reporting that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be back for a third season but ABC is still on the fence with Agent Carter. The article also mentions that Oscar winning writer John Ridley's secret Marvel project will make it to air. What this means for the current shows and the Adrianne Palicki starring S.H.I.E.L.D. spin off is uncertain. Which of the rumoured shows are you most looking forward too?
