CBS has replaced the originally scheduled episode of Supergirl for Monday, November 16 with another episode due to terrorism-related content.
Monday’s scheduled episode of Supergirl, season 1, episode 4, “How Does She Do It?,” has been replaced with episode 5, “Livewire,” in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks. “How Does She Do It?” focused on Supergirl combating multiple bombings across National City, and with the violence in Paris so fresh, CBS elected not to air the episode out of sensitivity.
“Livewire,” which is a Thanksgiving-themed episode originally scheduled to air on November 23, will air instead. There is no word on when “How Does She Do It?” will air.
Supergirl is not the only series with a schedule change for Monday. The originally scheduled NCIS: Los Angeles episode dealt with ISIS recruitment. With ISIS taking responsibility for the attacks in Paris, an episode originally scheduled for December will air instead.
These are not the only schedule changes that have occurred in the wake of the Paris attacks. We previously reported that Friday night’s episode of Undateable Live was canceled on NBC, and a live U2 concert from Paris originally scheduled to air on HBO on Saturday, November 14 was also canceled.
Additionally, Saturday’s Democratic Presidential Debate, which also aired on CBS, was “significantly reworked” to address the Paris attacks.
Deadline notes that Quantico, a terrorism-themed series on ABC, and Showtime’s Homeland, which is set in Germany, will both air their regularly scheduled episodes tonight.
