The plot synopsis for the third season (or at least the early episodes of season 3) of Supergirl has been released by WBTV in preparation for the upcoming San Diego Comic Con. There isn't much to this synopsis that we didn't know. But it is great to keep the momentum of the show rolling along.
I read the synopsis over on Bleeding cool here:
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/07/02/supergirl-season-3-episode-1-comic-con/
And here is the synopsis itself.
Ridding National City of Queen Rhea and her Daxamite army was a major win for Supergirl, but one that came at a significant cost, as Kara was forced to sacrifice her budding relationship with Mon-El. When season three returns with all-new supercharged adventures this fall on The CW, Kara and team will come up against a new threat in the form of DC Worldkiller, Reign. Want to know more about Reign and what she has in store for the Girl of Steel? Join the series’ cast and creative team for a special video presentation, followed by a Q and A where they’ll discuss this hot topic and more!
We had known that Reign was going to be the big bad so no news there. But I do like that they dropped the Worldkiller title, a key part to her story in the New 52 Supergirl title. We already know that Zor-El was involved in the creation of the Medusa virus on the show. Will he have a part to play with the creation of Reign as well? Even if it is unknowingly?
I also am surprised that Mon-El is mentioned so prominently. Will his character be a presence (even in absence) during the whole season? Or only as a major element in the earliest episode.
We'll get a panel with some video snippets at SDCC. Hopefully we'll get some more answers. Or at least some hint! The Supergirl panel is on Saturday July 22 from 3:30-4:10pm in Ballroom 20. Any pals that are going to be in attendance, please feel free to let me know what you saw!

ReplyDeleteHard to say until the episodes start airing; however, Chris Wood has been reportedly signed on as a regular for Season Three, as is Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor. Mehcad snapped a few candid shots of the first table read of the season yesterday, which showed Katie among the usual cast, but no Chris (which makes sense since Mon-El's off-planet when S3 begins). No sign of Odette Annable (Reign) in the pics either; perhaps SDCC2017 will provide more clues to when the Big Bad will soon appear.

It's interesting they mentioned Reign's Worldkiller status. I wonder how the writers will adapt her storyline. There's little material to work on, but iin this instance it can be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, after Reign was announced as third season's Big Bad, her DC Wikia page became the second most visited in the site.
Thanks for comments.
ReplyDeleteI hadnt heard that Chris Wood was a regular. I thought he'd be a sort of Calista, coming in for a couple of episodes.
And yes, the Worldkiller aspect is interesting. We'll have to see how that plays out.
"I hadn't heard that Chris Wood was a regular. I thought he'd be a sort of Calista, coming in for a couple of episodes."
ReplyDeleteCalista's status for S3 still seems uncertain, which provides another mystery that hopefully SDCC2017 can shed some light on.
Rumor scuttlebutt has it that Mon-El doesn't reappear until episode 3.06. Of course, this is just an unsubstantiated rumor at this point.

Meanwhile Erica Durance has been recast as Allura....I wonder if this means they are gonna do an "Allura Survives" storyline?
