She wrote, “To say it has been an honor portraying this iconic character would be a massive understatement. Seeing the incredible impact the show has had on young girls around the world has always left me humbled and speechless”.
“She’s had that impact on me, too. She’s taught me strength I didn’t know I had, to find hope in the darkest of places, and that we are stronger when we’re united. What she stands for pushes all of us to be better. She has changed my life for the better, and I’m forever grateful.”
“I’m so excited that we get to plan our conclusion to this amazing journey, and I cannot wait for you to see what we have in store. I promise we’re going to make it one helluva final season.”

How Will Supergirl Season 6 Plot Be?
We don’t have any authentic clues on the basis of which we can predict the plot of the upcoming season. But sources are saying that this time script makers have schemes to use Lex Luthor in their massive adieu. While conversating with People TV, actor John Cryer disclosed that the season 5 ending has been rewritten as it wasn’t completed because of Coronavirus lockdown.
He mentioned, “They’re writing a whole bunch of new stuff around it… Which is interesting because the way my character was thwarted now doesn’t happen anymore. So I was like, ‘Oh, did I not get defeated? Wait a minute, I like this!'”
