BATWOMAN: Ruby Rose Leaves DC Comics TV Show with Lead Role for Season 2 Being Recast [The CW]

Ruby Rose Exits Batwoman Role on The CW

Ruby Rose is leaving the role of Kate Kane / Batwoman on The CW‘s Batwoman. Because she is leaving the role, following the Batwoman: Season 2 renewal, the lead role in the series will be recast. This is a huge surprise as the Batwoman role was sought after by twenty-to-thirty-five-year-old actresses across Hollywood. Rose won it and when it was announced, the news was favorably received.

Ruby Rose had this to say about her announcement to exit the Batwoman TV series:

“I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season. This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles. I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created. Thank you Peter Roth and Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”

Berlanti Prods. and WBTV had this to say about the announcement (which I am sure they were aware of before it was made public):

“Warner Bros. Television, The CW and Berlanti Productions thank Ruby for her contributions to the success of our first season and wish her all the best,” the two companies said. “The studio and network are firmly committed to Batwoman’s second season and long-term future, and we — along with the show’s talented creative team — look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months.”
