WHEN DISCUSSING RENEWING THE SERIES ON CBS
“If they didn’t go there, we would’ve probably taken it back,” Moonves said.
Deadline also spoke with CBS Entertainment President Glenn Gellar about the possibility of renewing it if The CW had passed.
“It’s a win-win since we co-own the CW,” he said. “We worked out great deal. And who would say we wouldn’t have picked it up had it not gone to the CW.”
CBS certainly have shown their support of the series as it has gone on to become the networks highest rated program for young adults, considering the network’s target audience is in the elderly demographic that is a huge improvement. It’s also sure to improve even more when Summer reruns for Supergirl begin on May 30th.
