Completing earlier work on three dimensional (3D) N = 1 supergravity with curvature-squared terms, we construct the general supergravity extension of 'cosmological ' massive gravity theories. In particular, we show that all adS vacua of " new massive gravity " (NMG) correspond to supersymmetric adS vacua of a " super-NMG " theory that is perturbatively unitary whenever the corresponding NMG theory is perturbatively unitary.
