Supergirl S6
Critics’ Choice, People’s Choice and Teen Choice multi-award-winning series Supergirl is gearing up for its final showdown. The first seven episodes of the final season are available to binge now, with another 13 (!) due towards the end of the year, since not even superheroes are immune to the global pandemic.
Last season’s cliffhanger means Supergirl (aka Kara Danvers, played by Melissa Benoist) will face her nemesis, Lex Luthor (Two and a Half Men’s Jon Cryer), this season. Both picked up Best Actor nominations at the 2021 Critics’ Choice Super Awards for their performances, with Season 6 earning a 99% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The cast includes Screen Actor’s Guild nominees Chyler Leigh (Grey’s Anatomy’s Dr Lexie Grey) and David Harewood (Homeland), as well as Teen Choice nominees Katie McGrath (Jurassic World) and Jason Behr (Roswell, New Mexico), who joins this season.
