No, it is not a rumor, it is a fact and both the actress and the production houses of the successful series that saw the end of its first season this Sunday have confirmed it. Before both statements, several doubts remain that we suppose will be answered in the coming days, but for now, we can affirm that Ruby Rose has resigned as ‘Batwoman’.
The current pandemic caused this incredible series to be seen, since its last two episodes were not filmed and therefore it is not known with certainty if the script included a transition of her character to a new one, which Warner Bros. is already looking for.
As an interesting fact, in this series its producers are openly gay (Greg Berlanti and the director Caroline Dries), so they looked for a protagonist who was also part of the LGBTQ community, the most typical scenario is that her replacement will also be.
“I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” Rose said “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,” she announced. “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, ” Ruby declared.
Ruby Rose resigns as ‘Batwoman’ and without a doubt it is a great blow for all those who expected to see her in the already renewed second season.
”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 corporations announced. “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.”
