Episode 6×06 Prom Again will be Chyler Leigh’s directorial debut on Supergirl. She was listed to direct in early November but that changed. Leigh had some shadow directing to do and Izabela Vidovic and Olivia Nikkanen had some quarantining to do.

Episode 6×05 Prom Night — the first of the two-parter — is in production.
You know that is going to be good when the director herself is a big fan of what she’s doing.
So I’m really excited to watch that episode because I know that Chy is going to pour her soul and heart on it.#DanversSisters https://t.co/1ih9UyDl5A pic.twitter.com/YA6vPqWEIw— Danvers Sisters Team 🦸🏼♀️🦸🏻♀️💕 (@DanversTeam) December 4, 2020

Will grownup Kara Danvers be in the episode? It’s likely but these can be pickup scenes when Melissa Benoist joins production after her maternity leave. She and her husband Chris Wood (Supergirl’s Mon-el) welcomed a son in early September.
