'Supergirl' Season 3 Will Offer 'A Modern-Day Love Story' For Alex + Maggie

If you had hesitations surrounding the fate of Kara’s sister, Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh), and girlfriend Maggie Sawyer (Floriana Lima) at the end of last season's Supergirl, you can squash those worries because executive producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Quelle have spoken out.

"We love Floriana [Lima] and we were sad that she wasn't able to come back full-time," Robert said at San Diego Comic-Con in July. "We love this relationship we’ve created and, with that, we’re going to be telling a modern-day love story that really honors their relationship. [It] hopefully will resonate and, I think, will be very satisfying. Hopefully, she will come join us… The door is always open."

Queller explained that "Maggie is welcome to come back anytime she's free," admitting that they're quite said Floriana is not available to join the the show in a full-time capacity. "It was a very meaningful story to us, and it meant so much to us that it resonated with the fans and we felt like this is a story that still needs to be told about a young woman or a grown woman coming to terms with her sexuality in a very honest and grounded and truthful way. We worked really hard to honor that," she explained.

Season 3 of Supergirl begins October 9.
