Supergirl will remain on Monday nights at 8 this Fall, and The CW has released a new description for the show’s upcoming third season.
Tre are really no new spoilers within, and a certain very important person whose name rhymes with “Aggie” doesn’t seem to be mentioned which we’re sure is just an oversight, but here you go:
SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC character Kara Zor-El, (Melissa Benoist) Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later, Kara was living in National City and still concealing her powers, when a plane crash threatened Alex’s life and Kara took to the sky to save her. Now, Kara balances her work as a reporter for CatCo Worldwide Media with her work for the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government organization whose mission is to keep National City – and the Earth – safe from sinister threats. At the DEO, Kara works for J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood), the Martian Manhunter, and alongside her sister, Alex, and best friend, Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan). Also in Kara’s life are media mogul Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart), James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), a photo journalist who moonlights as Guardian, a masked vigilante, Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), and Mon-El of Daxam (Chris Wood), whose planet was ravaged by Krypton’s destruction. As Kara struggles to navigate her relationships and her burgeoning life as a reporter, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime. Based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, SUPERGIRL is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Arrow”), Andrew Kreisberg (“The Flash,” “Arrow”), Sarah Schechter (“Arrow,” “The Flash”), Robert Rovner (“Private Practice,” “Dallas”) and Jessica Queller (“Gilmore Girls,” “Gossip Girl,” “Felicity”).

Well, it's now official...#Karamel is still an ongoing thing for next season. :)
Based on this season 3 description, is Calista Flockhart returning as a regular?
It certainly looks like it! Calista probably has more time to devote to the show, now that hubby Harrison Ford is done filming the new Blade Runner movie.
Of course, one lingering question is the absence of Floriana Lima's name. Maybe she's changing her status to 'recurring' instead?
Cat will likely recur more in the 3rd season than the 2nd season.
Maggie is not mentioned. Either she dies in the finale or she breaks up with Alex and moves to Metropolis. She is likely to recur best if she returns, but her story supports Alex not Kara's and maybe that's why they decide to get rid of those who don't support Kara's storyline.
They're continuing James as Guardian, so either he works for the DEO or Cat Grant could give him some wisdom like she did with Supergirl.
Notice that producer Ali Adler is not mentioned either. I think she had a lot to do with the first two seasons being political, especially the 2nd season.
