“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.”
Batwoman was forced to end its first season prematurely, airing 20 of the planned 22 episodes, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Rose was cast as The CW’s Batwoman, the first openly gay superhero to lead a TV show, in 2018. However, backlash to her casting led to criticism on social media, resulting in her quitting Twitter.
