The beloved superhero series Supergirl’s third season landed on Netflix in the United States on May 28, 2019, following its original run on The CW. Let me break down the typical pattern of how these releases work and what that means for viewers.
How Netflix Gets CW Shows Like Supergirl
Netflix and The CW have a special arrangement that makes things pretty predictable for fans. Generally, entire seasons of CW shows arrive on Netflix about 8 days after their season finale airs on television. This deal has been great news for binge-watchers who prefer to watch their favorite shows all at once.
What You Get in Season 3
Season 3 of Supergirl consists of 23 action-packed episodes that follow Kara Danvers as she faces some of her toughest challenges yet. If you’re just getting into the show or catching up, you’re in for quite a ride with this particular season.
Where to Find Earlier Seasons
If you need to catch up before diving into Season 3, you’ll be happy to know that Seasons 1 and 2 are also available on Netflix. This makes it easy to follow Kara’s journey from the beginning and understand all the character development that leads into the third season.
International Release Dates
It’s worth noting that Netflix release dates can vary by country. While U.S. viewers got Season 3 in May 2019, international release dates might differ based on local licensing agreements and broadcasting rights in different regions.
How to Know When New Seasons Drop
Here’s a pro tip: You can set up notifications on Netflix to alert you when new seasons become available. Just hit the “Remind Me” button on the show’s page, and Netflix will let you know as soon as new episodes drop.
Making the Most of Your Watch
If you’re planning to watch Season 3, I’d recommend blocking out some quality viewing time – these episodes are particularly engaging, and you might find yourself wanting to watch more than one at a time. The story arcs in this season are especially compelling, and the cliffhangers make it hard to stop watching!
Remember that while you can’t change when shows become available on Netflix, you can make the most of your viewing experience by catching up on previous seasons and avoiding spoilers online until you’re ready to dive in.
