‘Stargirl’ To End With Season 3
It’s the end of the road for ‘Stargirl‘, as The CW announces Season 3 will be the last for the superhero drama. And before anyone asks, no, we don’t have a UK premiere date for it yet.
The series follows high school student Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) and her stepfather Pat Dugan (Luke Wilson) as she leads an unlikely group of young heroes to take on the legacy of DC’s very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America.
This news is the latest of many shows ended by Nexstar Media Group following their recent acquisition of the channel from WBD and Paramount. The broadcaster downsized their original series prior to the sale, cancelling ‘Naomi‘, ‘Batwoman‘, ‘Legends Of Tomorrow’, ‘Charmed‘, ‘Roswell, New Mexico‘, ‘4400‘, ‘Dynasty‘, ‘In the Dark‘ and ‘Legacies‘. That was more recently joined by ‘Nancy Drew’.
Whilst ‘Stargirl’ is coming to an end, showrunner Geoff Johns has promised it will have a proper conclusion. “Stargirl has always held a special place in my heart for many reasons.” commented Johns. The series focuses on the character that started Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister who was killed in a 1996 plane crash.
“With all the brewing changes at the network, we were aware this was possibly the last season, so we wrote with that in mind and have delivered what I believe to be the best season of Stargirl yet, with complete creative closure,” continued the creator. “The cast and crew are extraordinary, and I’d like to thank them for helping me bring this series to life. Brec embodied Courtney in every way possible — with grace, strength and humour — exceeding my wildest expectations. I am grateful to WBTV and The CW for giving us a home to tell this story and to honour my beloved late sister, and I’m beyond thankful to the press and fans who have always championed us for three amazing seasons. Most series never get this far. We couldn’t be more proud of our show and the fan community it’s built!”
The third season finds Starman (Joel McHale) back from the dead and offering to train Courtney while she helps him adjust to his new life in the quiet town of Blue Valley. But when there’s a murder that needs to be solved, the mystery will not only have our heroes questioning the former super-villains’ commitment to truly reforming, but lead Courtney, Pat and Starman to a secret that will shock them all to their very core.
