This is an interesting choice on a few levels.
First, Supergirl was a show that marked a huge, much-noted risk for CBS, who had been hoping to capture the younger viewing audience.
While the series notched impressive ratings when compared to other superhero shows -- about 10 million viewers after seven days of DVR playback -- it came up short by CBS standards in the end.
The CW, meanwhile, is obviously welcoming this newest addition to its vast superhero lineup with open arms, as it is more than a natural fit. The network is already home to other Greg Berlanti-produced properties like Arrow, The Flash, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
With the move, Supergirl will also transfer production from Los Angeles to Vancouver, joining the other superhero series.
Supergirl, of course, already has a noted on-screen relationship with The Flash, with which it staged a well-received and highly praised crossover earlier this year.
In other words, Supergirl might be going to a new school next year, but at least it already has a friend.
