After only one season of donning the cape and cowl of the caped crusader on the CW’s superhero series Batwoman, lead star Ruby Rose is walking away from the role she once referred to as a “game changer.”
This is especially shocking given that the series not only holds a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was CW’s third most watched show, but that Rose had to endure all kinds of hate and homophobia when it was announced that the openly gay actress was cast to take on the role of Kate Kane a.k.a Batwoman.
Now the search for the next Batwoman is on as Warner Bros. and the CW says they’re committed to producing a second season and beyond regardless of Rose’s departure.
“The studio and network are firmly committed to Batwoman’s second season and long-term future, and we — along with the show’s talented creative team — look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months.”
