New Supergirl Tonight: “The Fanatical”

A new episode of Supergirl airs tonight on The CW and we’ve got a trailer and some preview clips for it!

The episode is called “The Fanatical” and here’s how they describe it:

JAMES CONSIDERS UNMASKING AS GUARDIAN — When Tanya (guest star Nesta Cooper), a disciple of Coville’s, escapes from what’s left of his cult, she gives Kara (Melissa Benoist) and James (Mehcad Brooks) a journal that could hold the key to saving Sam (Odette Annable). Someone learns Guardian’s identity and threatens to expose James if he doesn’t do what they ask. James contemplates what it means to be a black vigilante without a mask in America. Mairzee Almas directed the episode written by Paula Yoo & Eric Carrasco (#319). Original airdate 5/21/2018.

You can see a trailer, an “Inside” video interviewing the producers, and some clips below. Underneath the videos we have a gallery of promotional photos for your viewing pleasure!
