Keeping Flockhart onboard with the new filming location had been problematic as she was not willing to uproot her family to move to Vancouver. She was not obligated to continue (Alyssa Milano similarly left ABC’s Mistresses when its production moved from Los Angeles to Canada). In the end, a compromise was reached, and the studio will fly Flockhart to Vancouver every few weeks or so. I hear Flockhart would do as many scenes as she could by commuting back and forth, likely banking material for multiple episodes in one trip north. I hear she would be paid per her original series-regular contract.

Calista Flockhart is set to return to Supergirl for the superhero drama's upcoming second season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Flockhart, however, will not return as a series regular. She will instead be billed as recurring moving forward. She will appear in multiple episodes beginning with the Oct. 10th season two premiere -- also the series' first new episode on The CW after moving from CBS. Flockhart begins production next week.
"Supergirl wouldn't be Supergirl without the amazing Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant. We are so excited Calista has agreed to continue on the show when she can. We and the audience love to see her on screen," Supergirl executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said.
