Live action series ‘Stargirl’ to debut in DC Universe
The highly anticipated DC series will now have an exclusive linear window on The CW, which will broadcast each episode the day after its debut on the DC Universe digital subscription service. The new DC Superhero drama series, starring Brec Bassinger in the title role, is set to make its premiere on DC Universe in the second quarter of 2020, with new episodes released weekly on the first-of-its-kind digital experience.
Additionally, every episode of “Stargirl” will be available to stream on The CW’s free digital platforms following its broadcast on The CW Network, throughout the season.
Under CW’s new digital strategy, viewers will be able to stream “Stargirl” from the beginning at any point throughout the season on CWTV.com and The CW app – free, with no subscription, login or authentication required, and fully ad-supported. After the season finale of “Stargirl,” the full season will be available to binge on The CW’s digital platforms.
The new DC Universe drama series “Stargirl” follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore, as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new drama reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series.
The series focuses on the character that started creator Geoff 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 explosion.
In addition to series’ star Brec Bassinger, “Stargirl” will also star Luke Wilson, Amy Smart, Trae Romano, Cameron Gellman, Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, Meg DeLacy, Neil Jackson, Jake Austin Walker, Christopher James Baker and Hunter Sansone.
The premier date for the new series has yet to be announced. For more on the good news regarding “Stargirl,” see the video accompanying this article.
