In light of this weekend’s terrorist attacks in Paris, which left communities worldwide mourning the loss of at least 132 lives, CBS has chose to pull the “Supergirl” episode the network had scheduled to air Monday.

CBS is swapping out episodes of two prime-time series on Monday night because of sensitivity concerns following the deadly Paris attacks. “Los Angeles” and “Supergirl” are going to have changes in its episode line up for Monday, November 16. “NCIS: LA” was to broadcast an episode about ISIS recruitment. The previously scheduled episodes will air at a later date to be determined.
Actors Mehcad Brooks (L) and Melissa Benoist speak onstage during the “Supergirl” panel discussion at the CBS portion of the 2015 Summer TCA Tour at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 10, 2015 in Beverly Hills, California.
The cable network U.S. faced a similar situation over the summer.
The finale was pushed back and aired on September 2.
United Kingdom broadcaster ITV pulled Sunday night’s episode of Jekyll and Hyde in the wake of Friday’s terrorist attacks. Because of this, an episode that was supposedly to be shown in December will be aired earlier than planned.
NBC/Brooke Palmer/NBC An episode of “Hannibal” about brainwashed children killing each other never aired in the United States. The NBC comedy “Undateable” opted not to perform its usual live episode Friday night, as did E!’s clip show “The Soup”.
The shock from the Paris attacks was felt all over the entertainment industry. The episode never aired on TV, but was eventually placed on the network’s website. Episodes of “Revolution”, “Castle” and even the comedies “Family Guy” and “New Girl” were affected as well.
