The highly-anticipated trailer for CBS’ forthcoming Supergirl series has officially been released online.
Starring Melissa Benoist as Superman’s Kryptonian cousin, the series follows the iconic heroine as she makes her public debut as a fully-fledged superhero. She will star alongside Golden Globe winner Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant and Mehcad Brooks as Jimmy Olsen.
Supergirl is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El, 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.
Kara has hidden her powers for decades, choosing instead to blend in as an assistant to a high-powered business executive played by Calista Flockhart, reported comicbook.com.
When a crisis strikes her city, Kara must decide whether to brush off the old cape and embrace her true identity. Which, of course, she does – and in Clark Kent glasses, to boot.
Supergirl is set to debut in November.
