Production will work around Melissa Benoist until she can join them (Crew did something similar when Benoist starred in Beautiful on Broadway, by shooting episodes out of order and putting Supergirl in an exo suit).
David Harewood, who plays J’onn J’onzz/Martian Manhunter, hinted that he was headed back to work on Instagram.
Four days later, David Harewood suited up as Martian Manhunter for the first time in season 6.

Jon Cryer, who plays Lex Luthor, made the news over the weekend after he lost his wedding ring on the Vancouver seawall, but it was found.
Azie Tesfai confirmed Supergirl is back today in an Insta-story.
Showrunners: Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner.
First episode director: Jesse Warn.
Where did we leave Supergirl?
In the premature season five finale directed by David Harewood, Supergirl teamed up with Lena Luthor to take down Lex and Leviathan.
J’onn J’onzz, while complaining about chafing from Supergirl’s new pants, provided a Supergirl decoy.
While Kara and Lena took the bus across town to Luthor Corp.
David Harewood shows Katie McGrath and pregnant Melissa Benoist what he wants.
Alex debuted her new suit and Ziggy Stardust eye makeup.
Leviathan was defeated when Brainy bottled the immortals, seemingly sacrificing himself to save his friends.
And Lex lived on, of course.
Immortal Kombat was meant to be the second-to-last episode of season five but corona virus fears shut down production of the season finale in mid-March with at least three days of filming left to do. Will season 6 start with what was supposed to be the season 5 finale?
The Flash, Batwoman and new series Superman & Lois are expected to premiere in January 2021 on the CW.
But Supergirl season 6 will premiere in the Spring/Summer of 2021 on The CW.
