The latest DC Comics character get the TV treatment is Superman's cousin Kara Zor-El in the upcoming 'Supergirl' series. The new superhero programme joins the likes of 'Gotham', 'Arrow' and 'The Flash' and will hopefully enjoy the same success. The show premiers on CBS in the US on October 26th and we now have confirmation that Sky 1 will broadcast the show here in the UK with the fist episode set to air October 29th at 8PM. Adam MacDonald, director of Sky1 commented on bringing the woman of steel to their weekly lineup.

"I am delighted to announce 'Supergirl' is coming to Sky1. We've already seen in the success of 'The Flash' and 'Arrow' that comic-book characters are a big hit with our customers, and with this fresh, fast-paced new series, we're giving them another sure-fire superhero smash."

Relative newcomer Melissa Benoist stars as our heroine and what we've seen so far looks to be a pretty faithful and honest take on the character. In anticipation of the premier next week Benoist has graced the cover of TV Guide for a pretty cool shot, check it out below!
