STARGIRL shines a new logo and broadcasts on free CW digital platforms in Spring 2020

Cast announcements of the upcoming DC Universe streaming original series Stargirl have been making the rounds for the past year, with no official release date revealed as of yet. Expect to wait a bit until premiere news, but until then feast your eyes on the official Stargirl logo that was unveiled today.

Moreover, it was also announced that every episode of Stargirl will be broadcast on The CW Network following its debut on the DC Universe subscription service, subsequently becoming available to watch for free on CW’s digital platforms. It’s a unique strategy to say the least. At SDCC last July, DC Universe announced similar plan for Doom Patrol Season 2 with episodes set to premiere simultaneously on both DC Universe and the upcoming HBO Max streaming service.

With the long-running Arrow series that begat the titular Arrowverse coming to an end January 28, it only makes sense to fill the void left by Oliver Queen with another Greg Berlanti DC Comics show that unlike Titans or Doom Patrol is in keeping with The CW’s network standards and demographic. Between this and the Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons animated series coming to CW Seed, it doesn’t look like DC Comics media is slowing down anytime soon with its television projects.

The highly anticipated DC Universe series STARGIRL will now have an exclusive linear window on The CW Network, which will broadcast each episode the day after its debut on the DC Universe digital subscription service. The new DC Super Hero drama series, starring Brec Bassinger in the title role, is set to make its premiere on DC Universe in second quarter 2020, with new episodes released weekly on the first-of-its-kind digital experience.

Additionally, every episode of STARGIRL will be available to stream on The CW’s free digital platforms, following its broadcast on The CW Network, throughout the season.  Under The CW’s new digital strategy, viewers will be able to stream STARGIRL from the beginning at any point throughout the season on CWTV.com and The CW app – free, with no subscription, login or authentication required, and fully ad-supported.  After the season finale of STARGIRL, the full season will be available to binge on The CW’s digital platforms.

The new DC Universe drama series STARGIRL follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore (series star Brec Bassinger, “Bella and the Bulldogs,” “School of Rock,” “The Goldbergs”) as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new drama reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series.

The series focuses on the character that started creator Geoff Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister who was killed in a 1996 plane explosion.

Geoff Johns (“Arrow,” “Batwoman,” “The Flash,” “Titans”) serves as showrunner and executive produces STARGIRL with Melissa Carter (“Queen Sugar”), who serves as co-showrunner, as well as Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. Based on the characters from DC created by Geoff Johns, STARGIRL is produced by Berlanti Productions and Mad Ghost Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

STARGIRL stars Brec Bassinger, Luke Wilson, Amy Smart, Trae Romano, Cameron Gellman, Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, Meg DeLacy, Neil Jackson, Jake Austin Walker, Christopher James Baker, and Hunter Sansone.
