Melissa Benoist Excited About 'Supergirl' Flying Over to The CW

ETonline.com reports that with SUPERGIRL heading to The CW this fall, after anchoring Mondays on CBS in its first season, star Melissa Benoist is quite excited about the transition.

"I think it's really fitting," the 27-year-old actress told ET's Nischelle Turner at the Los Angeles Film Festival premiere of Lowriders on Wednesday. "It's the logical fit for us. It's a really great group to be involved with."

Benoist, who plays Kara Zor-El, cousin of Superman, revealed why she felt Supergirl's new home at The CW which also houses The Flash, ARROW and DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW among its DC comic book series offerings.

"What I'm most excited about is we get to kind of linger a little more on certain storylines from the comic books that maybe we didn't get to do last season," she said. "Spread out storylines, which I'm really excited about."

The CW's entertainment chief Mark Pedowitz have already announced a "biggest ever" four-way crossover for December.

"It's only fitting," Benoist said with a laugh. "We're all in the same place now!"

SUPERGIRL will air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT this fall on The CW.
