The CW deals with a tough challenge as its lead star Ruby Rose leaves Batwoman ahead of the production of its second season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, production company Warner Bros. is looking to recast the role before the show's scheduled return in early 2021. The announcement of Rose's departure came two days after the show's season finale. Batwoman was geared to be The CW's anchor for its Sunday night programming. 

The comic-based show made TV history as the first scripted live-action series to have a lesbian superhero lead. It was essential to the producer Greg Berlanti, showrunner Caroline Dries, and the production team that the part went to a member of the LGBTQ community. Rose, Warner Bros. TV, and Berlanti Productions didn't disclose her reason for leaving the show, but all parties had kind words to say about each other in released statements.

The CW's 'Arrow' to conclude in 2020 after a shortened 10-episode run

Arrow/ Oliver Queen actor and proud Torontonian Stephen Amell announced yesterday that Arrow is ending its run next year in a shortened 10-episode arc. While Arrow has been one of the most solid shows, and had a rolling start (first three seasons were aces), the show and its villains are starting to feel formulaic and stale. Amell also wants to pursue other businesses and ventures out of Vancouver so it makes sense to end Arrow on a high note.
