Supergirl returns for her fifth and biggest season yet! With the impending threat of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the very landscape of Supergirl and the Arrowverse will be changed forever. As exciting as this sounds, when will Supergirl season 5 be on Netflix? Let’s find out.

Sometimes the most dangerous villains aren’t always the ones you can just punch in the face. Kara may see one of her hardest challenges yet as the organization Leviathan infiltrates Metropolis.

When will Supergirl season 5 be on Netflix?

However, there’s been no official date added just yet. As you may know, many shows from The CW have not finished filming due to the coronavirus outbreak. In the case of Riverdale, all released episodes will come to Netflix with more due out later.

Currently, Supergirl is set to wrap with episode 17 on May 3rd which leaves us to believe we’ll see most of Supergirl S5 added on May 11th. That means three episodes won’t be coming to Netflix immediately.

What can we expect from Supergirl season 5?

Supergirl will be tackling comic-book villain organization Leviathan.

Not too dissimilar to that of Marvel’s Hyrda, Leviathan is an organisation that also works from the shadows, infiltrating networks and destroying them from within.

With much of the focus of the fifth season to be centered around technology and how it affects our characters, we could expect to see Leviathan learn our hero’s every move just from the tech alone. While this isn’t Kara’s most powerful villain to date, their ability to infiltrate will give her one of her biggest challenges yet.

The Cross Over – Crisis on Infinite Earths

It’s no secret that this year’s crossover will be the biggest on the Arrowverse yet. Comic book fans will know the history of Crisis on Infinite Earths and the significant impact it had on the DC Comics that can still be felt today.

Expect some huge changes to come to Supergirl upon the conclusion of the crossover.

*POTENTIAL SPOILERS*

There will likely be some major changes from the story that took place in the comics. The CW will be left with no choice, as some of the deaths that took place would mean characters such as Supergirl and The Flash will die.

We could see a huge role reversal for the series, and we may witness the death of Superman.

But which Superman?

Tyler Hoechlin is the current actor portraying Kara’s cousin Clark Kent. But we now have confirmation that Tom Welling of Smallville will be returning to reprise his role as the Man of Steel.

There will also be a third Superman. Brandon Routh who previously played the hero in 2006’s Superman Returns, will reprise his role. The death of Supergirl was an iconic moment in the comic, and we could be seeing an equally iconic moment in the series real soon.

Rumors continue to do the rounds that many of The CW shows are leaving Netflix. Subscribers have nothing to worry about for a long time as many of The CW series will be staying for the foreseeable future, Supergirl included.

Even if Supergirl were to be canceled at the end of the fifth season, it would remain on Netflix for a further five years. This means at a minimum Supergirl will be staying on Netflix until 2025.
