The future of the superhero series is reportedly uncertain
The future of Supergirl is up in the air right now following middling TV ratings.
The audience figures aren't bad, but when taking into account that it's a very costly show to make – reportedly $3 million per episode – it's understandable that CBS would expect better returns.
TheWrap claims that CBS and Warner Bros. Television are locked in conversations about how to bring the superhero series back, and the answer may lie in a network move.
CBS's sister network The CW has been touted as a possible new home, which given that Supergirl had a crossover episode with The Flash this season, wouldn't necessarily be a surprise. The Melissa Benoist-starring show would suit The CW's young demographic, too.
Such a move would mean significant budget cuts, another reason why it's being suggested.
None of this is confirmed, though. But this is the month when networks will be announcing their schedules for 2016 and 2017, so we won't have to wait long.
Supergirl's executive producer previously said that she was optimistic that the show will be back, adding that she's heard "very positive things, unofficially" from CBS CEO Les Moonves.
Her comments echo those made by star David Harewood.
