Queller joined Supergirl midway through the first season, which aired on CBS, as a consulting producer. She was upped to co-executive producer at the start of Season 2 on the shows’ current network, the CW.
Queller was upped to executive producer and was named co-showrunner alongside Rovner and Supergirl co-creator Andrew Kreisberg in June 2017. Queller and Rovner took full reins of the series several months later when Kreisberg was suspended and subsequently removed from his CW/WBTV series over misconduct allegations.
Queller’s previous series credits include Felicity, Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl. Her WBTV deal was negotiated by WME.
