Supergirl’s two-hour series finale proved to be an emotional ride indeed.
McGrath, who played Lena Luthor, said realizing she’d no longer be working with herSupergirlcolleagues made filming the end all the more challenging.
“Part of all that last episode was not just Lena, it’s Katie as well,” she said. “Like, these actors, this crew, they all became my family. We spent nine months of the year together, you know, making this show — we were each other’s lives.”
