Supergirl: Jon Cryer & Jesse Rath Do Right By The CW Series' Last Day

The last time we checked in to see how things were going with the return of The CW's Supergirl for its final run of episodes, the reality of the long-running Arowverse series was becoming a very brutal reality. That was when David Harewood (Hank Henshaw/J'onn J'onzz), Nicole Maines (Nia Nal/Dreamer), and Julie Gonzalo (Andrea Rojas) took to social media to offer thanks, starts the tears flowing, and begin processing. This time around, it's Jesse Rath (Brainy/Brainiac 5) and Jon Cryer (Lex Luthor) who are offering their arms in honor of August 6, 2021- the last day of Supergirl.

Here's a look at Rath's tweet, with a proper "Love Live The Legion!" salute from Brainy in the form of the Legion flight ring. Following that, Cryer offered Luthor's armored arm in honor of the final day:

The return of The CW's Supergirl for the remainder of its sixth and final season begins with some good news for Melissa Benoist's Kara- she's Phantom Zone-free. But as you're about to see from the following return trailer, the optimistic vibes end there as "Team Kara" faces a threat that could turn Earth into a sequel to what happened to Krypton. Add into that equation Nyxly (Peta Sergeant) making her stowed-away presence known and you quickly understand that trying to squeeze in series-ending downtime to reflect and laugh might be few and far between. Viewers should more hope that all of the faces they've grown to know and love make it to the finish line in time- with The CW's Supergirl returning for its final run on August 24:

The CW's Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, David Harewood as Hank Henshaw/J'onn J'onzz, Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor, Jesse Rath as Brainiac-5, Nicole Maines as Nia Nal/Dreamer, Julie Gonzolo as Andrea Rojas, Azie Tesfai as Kelly Olsen, Andrea Brooks as Eve Tessmacher, Staz Nair as William Dey, and Eliza Helm as young Cat Grant. Peta Sergeant (Snowfall) has joined the cast as Nyxly, a quirky and kind 5th Dimensional Imp wrongly imprisoned in the Phantom Zone and driven by a tragic backstory. Nyxly helps Kara when she least expects it, and their budding friendship not only heals some of her emotional pain but also helps Nyxly reclaim her own power. Based on characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the series stems from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with EPs Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Riverdale), Sarah Schechter (Arrow, The Flash), Robert Rovner (Private Practice, Dallas), and Jessica Queller (Gilmore Girls, Gossip Girl, Felicity).
