Ruby Rose Announces Exit From ‘Batwoman’ TV Series

Ruby Rose has announced she was leaving the CW drama series ‘Batwoman’ and would not appear in season 2. 

Rose said in a statement: “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.”

Rose was cast as the titular character/Kate Kane in 2018 for the Arrowverse crossover. Rose then signed on for the stand-alone Batwoman series shortly after, which saw her portray the first LGBTQ superhero to lead a live-action TV show. 

Season 2 of Batwoman was renewed for a second season earlier this year and was set to premiere in January 2021; however, series production was expected to be delayed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
