'Supergirl' Will Remain Aloft as CBS Preps 5 Freshman-Show Renewals

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."

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.
