Supergirl Season Premiere Spoilers & Photos: “American Alien”

The CW has released a gallery of 16 official photos to promote the Sunday, October 14 season premiere of Supergirl which is called “American Alien!”

The new photos include the first still photos of several new characters: Rhona Mitra as Mercy Graves, Robert Baker as her brother Otis Graves, and Nicole Maines as Nia Nal! Still no peeks at Sam Witwer as Benjamin Lockwood a.k.a. Agent Liberty, but we’d imagine some photos will be coming. There’s also a distinct lack of Alex in this gallery, nor is there any Brainy, and we can’t have that.

You can find the pics below, and if you like them, be sure to share the link and tell people you found the pics at KryptonSite – the web’s first source for Super television! You can also find us on Twitter @KryptonSite.

UPDATE: We now have an official description with some spoilers!

HOPE VS. FEAR — Diving back into reporting, Kara (Melissa Benoist) welcomes a new cub reporter to CatCo. Meanwhile, James (Mehcad Brooks) and Lena (Katie McGrath) argue about James’ impending indictment for acting as the vigilante Guardian, while Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Brainy (Jesse Rath) struggle to get in sync at the DEO. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) is called into action when remnants of the anti-alien terrorist organization Cadmus try to assassinate pro-alien leaders, but their endgame turns out to be much more sinister than she expected. J’onn (David Harewood) relishes his peaceful new life, but an outing with an old friend causes him concern. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Robert Rovner & Jessica Queller and teleplay by Gabriel Llanas & Aadrita Mukerji (#401). Original airdate 10/14/2018
