28 Hottest New TV Shows Currently In Production

8. Supergirl (2015)

As DC rapidly attempts to claw back TV and film ground lost to rivals Marvel, "Supergirl" will provide the lead character in their latest superhero series. Introduced into the comics as a female counterpart to "Superman" in the 1950s (and his biological cousin), Supergirl is expected to deviate from the original storyline - with Melissa Benoist starring in the lead role. Supergirl - AKA Kara Zor-El/Kara Danvers - was taken in by the Danvers family at the age of 14 but has hidden her Kryptonian superpowers for a decade - before finally having to learn to embrace them. The series, to debut on CBS later in 2015, will see Supergirl discover how to use her powers during a disaster - before continuing to embrace her superpowers in the remainder of the episodes. The Selling Point: It's another superhero series, which always go well, so that'll get people tuning in. Plus it's Supergirl, many a man's fantasy woman. And she is played by Melissa Benoist, who isn't exactly lacking in the looks department. The Concerns: Is it all style over substance? Will it just be based on the fact that Supergirl is extremely good-looking - or will it actually try and go further and really create a proper comic-book-inspired, in-depth storyline?
