You can see the gallery below; as mentioned, Supergirl Season 5 premieres Sunday, October 6 at 9PM where it will be preceded by the series premiere of Batwoman!

A description should be here soon, but for now, here are the photos.

UPDATE: The CW has released several more official photos to add to our gallery! The new pictures include James and Kelly, among others, and all of the people from the previous photos – including Supergirl in her new suit – can also be found among the new stills. Still no Katie McGrath, though. (Boo!) Find them in our slide show below.

SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC character Kara Zor-El, (Melissa Benoist). Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton and was sent to Earth where she was raised by a foster family.  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, Superman, in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later, Kara was living in National City and still concealing her powers, when a plane crash threatened Alex’s life and Kara took to the sky to save her.  Now, Kara balances her work as a reporter for CatCo Worldwide Media with her work for the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government organization whose mission is to keep National City – and the Earth – safe from sinister threats.  As Kara struggles to navigate her relationships and her burgeoning life as a reporter, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl.
