Broadcast TV's most popular adaptation of a comic book franchise will live to fight another day, as CBS on Tuesday unofficially confirmed that it has renewed "Supergirl" for a second season.Speaking to analysts at the Deutsche Bank Media, Internet and Telecom Conference, CBS Corp. president and CEO Les Moonves said five freshman series would return for the 2016-17 season, a tally that ensures a renewal for "Supergirl." Since bowing Oct. 26 to 13 million live-plus-same-day viewers and a 4.0 rating among adults 25-54, "Supergirl" has gone on to maintain a solid 2.4 rating in CBS's target demo.The DC Entertainment/Warner Bros. co-production now stands as CBS's No. 5 scripted series in the younger demo, averaging a 1.8 among the adults 18-to-49 set. That marks a 20% advantage over Fox's DC Comics adaptation "Gotham," which averages a 1.5 opposite "Supergirl" in the Monday 8 p.m. time slot.
