Supergirl Season 2 Poster Revealed

The CW has released a piece of official key art for the forthcoming second season of their new series Supergirl, featuring a fairly simple image of series star Melissa Benoist standing with the show's logo and the tagline "The CW has a new hero."

Tranplanted from CBS, Supergirl is coming to The CW with high expectations and with ties to some of the network's biggest hits, Arrow and The Flash.

This isn't the first piece of Supergirl promotional material released by The CW, of course; in addition to a brief TV spot using recycled material from the show's first season that was made to announce The CW's acquisition of the CBS superhero drama, the network also released a photo revealing the look of Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, standing shoulder to shoulder with his cousin, earlier this year.

The first season of Supergirl ended on a pretty huge cliffhanger: a small, Kryptonian-looking rocket, nearly identical to the ones that brought Superman and Supergirl to Earth, crash-landed outside of National City. Upon opening it, Supergirl looked at its contents, surprised, and that was it.

We know that whoever she was looking at, was inside a rocket that appeared to be Kryptonian in design. But the real question is WHO could be inside a Kryptonian rocket, bound for Earth, just as the battle for the planet's survival wrapped up? And now we know.

Supergirl had the biggest debut of the 2015-2016 season, but lost about half of its viewers over the course of its first season. While it remained one of CBS's biggest shows, the cost of making the series is significant. It's reported that Supergirl costs about $3 million per episode.

The show will head to Vancouver, where tax incentives will reduce the cost of production. In its first season, Supergirl filmed in Los Angeles.

One of the highest-rated and most buzzed-about episodes of Supergirl this year was its crossover with The Flash. A move to The CW -- especially if the movie is also physical and production is relocated to Vancouver -- will mean an increase in crossover opportunities with the DC Universe set up at the network. Supergirl shares executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg with Arrow, The Flash, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. A four-way crossover has already been promised for the coming broadcast season.

Chris Wood will join the cast in the role of Mon-El, with actors Tyler Hoechlin and Ian Gomez coming aboard as Superman and Snapper Carr, respectively.

Supergirl will air on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW starting in the fall.
