Those excited for the debut of Supergirl on CBS will have to wait a bit longer than expected, as the series will arrive just after most of the Fall series begin. The Last Daugher of Krypton herself, Melissa Benoist, donned her cape and tights this week to reveal that she'll be going up, up and away on television on October 26th, 2015:

This fall, Supergirl will premiere on CBS. The series will not immediately tie in to any other DC Comics series or films though, meaning that the future for the Last Daughter of Krypton is an open book.

Tell us, will you be tuning in to Supergirl when she flies onto our television screens this October?

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.
