Trivia[]
- This season was rumored to begin filming mid-April 2020 to accommodate Melissa's pregnancy, but this plan was rendered obsolete once the COVID-19 shutdowns forced production delays on all television productions. Filming reportedly resume, tentatively, in September alongside the other Arrowverse shows.
- Unfortunately before production could even begin, on September 30, Supergirl had to shut down due to delays in processing COVID-19 tests in British Columbia. Luckily, the stoppage was assumed to be temporary. [4]
- This season concluded over two years following the premiere of the previous season.

Seeing the incredible impact the show has had on young girls around the world has always left me humbled and speechless. She’s had that impact on me, too. She’s taught me strength I didn’t know I had, to find hope in the darkest of places, and that we are stronger when we’re united. What she stands for pushes all of us to be better. She has changed my life for the better, and I’m forever grateful. I’m so excited that we get to plan our conclusion to this amazing journey, and I cannot wait for you to see what we have in store. I promise we’re going to make it one helluva final season. ♥️ el mayarah 💪 @supergirlcw"
