The comic-based drama will air its series finale in 2021.
September 22, 2020
The CW announced today that Supergirl will be coming to an end after its already-ordered sixth season. The news comes eight months after the superhero drama earned its now-final pickup, which will see the show return for its farewell run in 2021.
The action drama has been a solid addition to The CW's superhero slate since its move from its original home on CBS after Season 1 in 2016. On The CW, it benefited from crossover episodes with other shows from the DC Comics universe, which consistently gave it a nice ratings bump.
Star Melissa Benoist took to Instagram after the news broke, expressing her gratitude for being able to portray the iconic character for the past five years. She also expressed excitement for the opportunity to properly plan a conclusion to the series in advance, promising fans "one helluva final season."
Today's news makes Supergirl the second series from the DC Arrowverse to be leaving the air. Arrow concluded its run earlier this year.
Look for the sixth and final season of Supergirl to premiere in 2021 as part of The CW's midseason lineup.

Started off ok but then it took the liberal slant on everything. Way too far to the left. They ruined it and it deserved to be canceled.

While I have been enjoying the show along with all the other Arrowverse shows. Superhero shows are harder to produce and take a lot of people and money to make. So I can see why this is getting cancelled if the ratings aren't there. Sad to see it go but hopefully we get a proper ending. CW better not kill her like in the comics.

Enjoyed the show for the most part but happy it is ending. I hope this new season goes out on a good note.

I have to agree with the people complaining about the "wokeness". I watched the first 2 and a half seasons or so before I had to stop. It was painful to watch which was a real shame because I enjoyed the start of it a lot.

My issue was never the "wokeness" as people say, but Kara constantly being written like she had the memory of a goldfish and doing dumb things just to forward the plot. And also forgetting that she has powers other than strength and flying. And the personal relationships took a nosedive once it went to the CW. No one cares about her romances. No one.

Hey, 6 seasons is good. A show has accomplished something at least when they hit episode 100.

One of the decent CW shows they should have cancelled that awful Flash rubbish.
