CW President Said Fans Should Not Worry About Upcoming Supergirl Hiatus

TV Line recently spoke with CW President Mark Pedowitz who discussed the future of Supergirl on the network. Pedowitz addressed claims that the show’s recent hiatus coming up in February was a bad sign for the show, and it worried some fans that the series could be heading toward cancellation.

According to Pedowitz, there were some production issues that caused the hiatus for the show. These were reportedly unrelated to the removal of Andrew Kreisberg’s removal as the co-showrunner. Pedowitz stated, “We had a moment where they had some production issues.”

He added, “At the same time, we thought, ‘This is a good place put put Legends,’ knowing that iZombie would go behind it at the end of February. It also allowed us to extend into the summer, to give us more original programming, which is actually a good thing for us.”

Pedowitz said fans should not be worried about the show’s future. He continued, “The fans of Supergirl should not be worried in any way, shape or form. We are big believers in the show, and big believers in [series lead] Melissa [Benoist] and the direction of the show.”

Supergirl is currently slated to return with new episodes on April 16. The season finale will air on June 18.
