Stargirl gets premiere dates on DC Universe and The CW

March 4, 2020 by EJ Moreno

Stargirl is finally arriving in the DC Television Universe.

The DC Comics series will debut on May 11th on DC Universe, the brand’s streaming service, and will then air on The CW on May 12th. It was previously revealed that the episodes would run on the television network the day after their streaming debut.

There will be weekly drops for each episode, with DC Universe subscribers getting additional exclusive material. It’s also being reported that every episode will be available to stream on The CW’s digital platforms following the broadcast. Then when the season wraps, the full season will be open on The CW’s digital platforms too.

Creator of the comic book series Geoff Johns will serve as co-showrunner and executive producer on Stargirl alongside Melissa Carter. Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Productions also executive produce.

Stargirl will follow the story of Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) who is a smart, athletic and above all else kind girl. This high school teenager’s seemingly perfect life hits a major speedbump when her mother gets married, and her new family moves from Los Angeles, California to Blue Valley, Nebraska. Struggling to adapt to a new school, make new friends and deal with a new step-family, Courtney discovers her step-father has a secret; he used to be the sidekick to a superhero. “Borrowing” the long-lost hero’s cosmic staff, Courtney becomes the unlikely inspiration for an entirely new generation of superheroes.

Featuring in the cast of Stargirl are Brec Bassinger (Bella and the Bulldogs) as Stargirl, Amy Smart (Justified) as Barbara Whitmore, Luke Wilson (Roadies) as Pag Dugan, Trae Romano (Robbie) as Pat Dugan, Joel McHale (Community) as Starman, Lou Ferrigno Jr. (S.W.A.T.) as Hourman, Brian Stapf (The Walking Dead) as Wildcat, Henry Thomas (The Haunting of Hill House) as Dr. Mid-Nite, Joy Osmanski (The Santa Clarita Diet) as Tigress, Neil Hopkins (Matador) as Sportsmaster, Nelson Lee (Mulan) as Dragon King, Meg DeLacey (The Fosters) as Cindy Burman, and Anjelika Washington (Young Sheldon), Yvette Monreal (Matador), Christopher James Baker (True Detective), Neil Jackson (Westworld), Hunter Sansone (Drama Drama) and Jake Austin Walker (Rectify) in as-yet-unrevealed roles.
