"Supergirl" star Floriana Lima (Maggie Sawyer) will only return to the show on a recurring basis in Season 3, leaving some fans to wonder what this means for Sanvers.

Lima became a series regular in Season 2, and the recent finale ended with Maggie on the receiving end of a proposal from girlfriend Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh).

Maggie just smiled at the proposal, and now it's unclear how this will affect the Sanvers relationship, if at all, in Season 3.

Apparently it was Lima's decision to cut back a bit. As executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement (via TVLine):

"We adore Floriana and have loved working with her to tell this inspiring story. Although she's not available to us as a series regular next season, as she's looking to pursue other opportunities, we're happy she'll be returning for multiple episodes in Season 3."

Some fans aren't too surprised to hear that Lima is looking for other opportunities, seeing her as "underused" on the show, especially for someone who was considered a series regular.

"Supergirl" Season 3 premieres this fall on The CW.
