Supergirl have been given another chance. After several weeks of waiting, the news was announced today that Supergirl would be returning for a season 2 but not on CBS, instead the series is moving to the CW. The CW' known for it's other comic hits including The Flash, Arrow, and the previous Smallville, is probably the right move for this new-comer series but the reason why has more to do with the budget of the show. The pilot was said to cost a whopping 14 million dollars for CBS just to film with each additional episode costing around 3 million dollars to produce. While 3 million an episode is half of say, HBO's monster hit Game of Throne's, with a full season order of 20 episodes and steadily declining ratings, it was hard to imagine that Supergirl was going to land safely in renewal zone by the time it's season concluded. The move to the CW is most certainly to shrink the budget for the series going forward. While early reactions have fans upset over the news, Arrow and The Flash have continued to do well on estimate budgets of 1 and 1/2 to 2 million per episode. Are you happy that Supergirl's getting it's second chance or would you rather have said goodbye to Kara and company?
