Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

26. Supergirl

Network: The CW
Status: Series Finale Airing

By the spring of 2014, the Arrowverse had two hit shows on network television, but neither had a lead character for young girls to look up to. With that in mind, Warner Bros. began the process of bringing Superman’s cousin, Supergirl, to the small screen. About a year and a half after its conception, the pilot, which cost $14 million to make, premiered in the autumn of 2015.

The inaugural season of “Supergirl” was received very well with each episode averaging just shy of 10 million viewers. But Kara Zor-El’s popularity quickly waned, and, following 6 seasons of inspiring viewers, Supergirl is hanging up her cape.
