Supergirl, Winner of the 2016 People’s Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama, will arrive on Blu-Ray and DVD on August 9th 2016!

The series arrived on CBS with a great amount of fanfare. Delivering 10.9 million Total Viewers weekly, Supergirl is the #2 series on CBS amongst Men 18-49, just behind The Big Bang Theory and a Top 5 series on the network with Men 18-34, Men 25-54 and Tweens 12-17*.

Melissa Benoist stars as Supergirl and leads an exciting cast, that includes Chyler Leigh (Grey’s Anatomy), Mehcad Brooks (About Last Night) and Jeremy Jordan (Smash), with David Harewood (Homeland) and Calista Flockhart (Brothers and Sisters). Season One guest stars include Jenna Dewan Tatum, Laura Benanti and . Occasionally Peter Facinelli (The Twilight Saga) would show up as the enigmatic Maxwell Lord, a villain who occasionally would assist the good guys when it suited his purposes. While it has been decided that the show will move from CBS to The CW next fall, Supergirl has certainly left it's mark on viewing audiences and owning the Blu-Ray will allow you to relive all the great moments from its inaugural first season.

Creators of the show, Ali Adler, Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg even brought aboard some past Superman alumni to take part in the historical first season. Those actors include: Dean Cain (Adventures of Lois & Clark) Helen Slater (Supergirl: The Movie) and Laura Vandervoort (Smallville)

Born on the doomed planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped at the same time as her cousin, Superman, but didn’t arrive on Earth until years later after being lost in the Phantom Zone. Raised by her adopted family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to hide the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin. Years later, at age 24, and now living in National City while working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant, Kara has spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet photographer James Olsen, her bioengineer sister Alex, and the research of the super-secret, off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens, Kara takes to the skies to protect her world. (TBC)
