The CW is losing another one of its DC heroes, this time in the form of Stargirl, as the series will conclude with its third season, currently on Wednesdays through December 7th.
Stargirl starred Brec Bassinger as high school student Courtney Whitmore. We followed Courtney and her stepfather Pat Dugan (Luke Wilson) as she led an unlikely group of young heroes to take on the legacy of DC’s first superhero team, the Justice Society of America.
Alongside Bassinger and Wilson, the series also starred Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, Cameron Gellman, Trae Romano, Hunter Sansone, Meg DeLacy, Alkoya Brunson, Neil Hopkins, Joy Osmanski, with Amy Smart, and Joel McHale.
Creator Geoff Johns offered up his thoughts on the series ending:
“Stargirl has always held a special place in my heart for many reasons. 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!”
Discussing the show’s ending, Bassinger adds, “Getting to play Stargirl and be a part of the DC Universe has been the greatest honor, and I am so grateful for every moment of it. I would like to thank our fearless leader Geoff Johns, along with WBTV, The CW, the cast and crew of Stargirl, and of course, the fans. Thank you. This show will forever live in my heart.”
Stargirl joins The Flash, Riverdale, and Nancy Drew as the CW series coming to an end this year.
