CBS unveiled its 2015-2016 schedule at Upfronts today, and with it, we have plenty of goodies for Supergirl. In addition to the above promo image, it has been confirmed that the series will premiere in November on the network. It will air on Mondays at 8 PM EST, the same slot where Fox shows Gotham. It was inevitable, but this is the first time two DC Entertainment shows will air simultaneously on different networks. Click here for CBS’ full fall schedule.

Additionally, the network has released a full plot synopsis for Supergirl, as well as two official stills. One image features Cat Grant, while another one offers a look at Kara Zor-El Danvers and James Olsen. An official trailer is expected to be released soon, so stay tuned for more as we have it.

SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet’s former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime. Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Arrow”), Ali Adler, Sarah Schecter and Andrew Kreisberg are executive producers for Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The pilot was directed by Glen Winter (“Arrow”).
