The CW Cancels 'DC Stargirl' After The Third Season

Stargirl is the next DC series to be handed its pink slip as The CW is canceling the show after its third season, which is currently airing on The CW. The remaining new episodes will continue to air through December 7th.

Sources indicate that the writing team behind DC's Stargirl was given an early indication that this might be the final season and to write an ending that would reflect that.

The cancellation comes from Nexstar executives who have been on a canceling spree of The CW shows including The Flash, Riverdale, and Nancy Drew. They are focusing on retooling The CW and shifting toward unscripted content and shows that appeal to an older audience. The majority of the shows on The CW have focused on viewers in their teens through their 30s. The reality, though, is that the average CW viewer is 58 years old.

The series was created by Geoff Johns, based on the comic book he created in 1999, inspired by his sister who was killed in a 1996 plane crash.

“Stargirl has always held a special place in my heart for many reasons,” Johns said. “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. 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 humor — exceeding my wildest expectations. I am grateful to WBTV and The CW for giving us a home to tell this story and to honor 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.”

I'll say, the first season was great, but the second season started to skew the same direction as all the other terrible WB/DC shows that got cancelled. I liked the character, and the show was pleasantly entertaining, but it might be best to cut it off now and start with a clean slate.

Big shake-ups happening at The CW with layoffs, executives leaving and new shows such as Walker: Independence, and The Winchesters might not even see a second season.

It's the best show DC Comics has had!The analogy "tossing out the baby with the bathwater" comes in mind.

Damn shame. Stargirl is easily the best DC show CW has had. I kinda saw this coming and had hopes it might move to HBO Max, but it doesn't seem to be a good fit.

I'm worried that this is going to happen. Geoff Johns and James Robinson are the showrunners, two of the best comic book writers. Sad
