The CW has handed out a season 2 renewal to Stargirl but the series will be heaving the streaming service DC Universe which will dwindle down its already depleted arsenal of original content.
The renewal comes midway through its first season, which runs on both streaming platform DC Universe and, a day later, on The CW. Season two will debut exclusively on The CW and stream the next day on the network’s free, ad-supported platform. Stargirl will still have an SVOD home, on HBO Max, after the season wraps. Stargirl has performed well for The CW and that’s without the huge marketing push that the other DCTV shows get on the network. Debuting on air on May 19, the show is averaging 1.55 million viewers and a 0.4 rating among adults 18-49 after three days of delayed viewing, which puts it in the top half of the network’s scripted roster for the season.
Stargirl centers on high schooler Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger), who as the title character inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop villains of the past. The character is inspired by creator Geoff Johns’ late sister and was the first comic he created. The series also stars Luke Wilson, Amy Smart, Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, Cameron Gellman, Trae Romano, Jake Austin Walker, Hunter Sansone, Meg DeLacy, Neil Jackson, and Christopher James Baker.
