Stargirl: Deposed! DC series ends with season 3

• The DC series “Stargirl” comes to an end with its third season on The CW. The final season consists of a total of 13 episodes.
• The season has been running since the end of August 2022, but the series has now fallen victim to the current restructuring of the US broadcaster.
• The season 2 finale hints that Mister Bones could emerge as season 3’s new villain.

The DC series “Stargirl” is currently in the middle of broadcasting season 3 in the USA and has not even started in Germany yet. Now the US broadcaster The CW has announced that the upcoming episodes will be the last, because the superhero series has been officially discontinued by the broadcaster. Netzwelt has summarized all information about the sudden end for you below.

Stargirl: Final Season 3 Start Date

Since August 31, 2022 Season 3 of “Stargirl” is airing on The CW. The broadcaster has now announced that the 13 new episodes will bring the series to an end and that there will be no further extensions for the superhero series after that.

“Stargirl” season 3 has not yet started in Germany. However, it shouldn’t be long before we get to see the final season as well. The final episodes will then very likely be shown on Sky One pay-TV.

Stargirl: Why is Stargirl suddenly ending with Season 3?

In fact, the cancellation of Stargirl didn’t come as a surprise to character creator and executive producer Geoff Johns. In a statement at the end of the series, the series maker now explained that he and the team were aware of the “currently brewing changes at the station that this could possibly be the last season”.

So they had that in mind when writing and not only made Season 3 “the best season yet” but also found a worthy and complete conclusion to the series.

By “changes brewing,” Johns is, of course, referring to the structural changes The CW is undergoing just after its partial acquisition by Nexstar Media Group. According to the US magazine Deadline, Nextstar intends to shift the programming focus more towards improvised television shows and series for an older audience. This is where series like “Nancy Drew” and “Stargirl” fall behind.

Stargirl: Storyline

In the season 2 finale, Courtney (Brec Bassinger), along with Sylvester Pemberton/Starman (McHale), Sportsmaster (Hopkins), Tigress (Osmanski) and her daughter, took on the most fearsome adversary in DC mythology – the dark creature of corruption known as Eclipso – defeat.

So it’s clear that there will be a new villain in Season 3. It could be Mister Bones.

In a post-credits scene, the series briefly returned to the sinister Helix Institute, previously revealed to be holding Jennie’s (Ysa Penarejo) brother, Todd, captive. Nurse Louise Love informs Mister Bones that Jennie is back in Milwaukee but now has friends “like her” in Blue Valley.

Mister Bones is intrigued by the idea of ​​heroes and villains living side by side and explains that maybe they should take a trip to Nebraska. There’s also a possibility that, like The Shade in season 2, Mister Bones might not turn out to be a villain and that a greater threat is at hand.

Stargirl: cast

In the final season, we see Brec Bassinger (“The Goldbergs”) as Courtney Whitmore aka Stargirl. Luke Wilson (“Legally Blonde”) should be back as Pat Dugan aka STRIPE.

Likewise, Joel McHale returns as Sylvester Pemberton aka Starman one last time. “You’re going to see him in flashbacks in season 2 – we’ve got a really cool storyline with him [Starman] and the other JSA founders – and you’ll see Joel McHale in the later half of the season,” said series creator Geoff Johns.
