At one time, superhero shows like DC’s Stargirl were essentially guaranteed to be renewed year after year. That’s all changed now that Nexstar Media Group is purchasing a controlling interest in the network. Nexstar reportedly plans to focus on traditional network shows that have a more broad appeal, and that doesn’t sound like DC’s Stargirl. Will the show be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A superhero drama series, DC’s Stargirl stars Brec Bassinger, Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, Cameron Gellman, Trae Romano, Hunter Sansone, Meg DeLacy, Alkoya Brunson, Neil Hopkins, Joy Osmanski, Amy Smart, and Luke Wilson, with special appearaces by Joel McHale. The series follows high schooler Courtney Whitmore (Bassinger) whose life is turned upside down when her mother (Smart) remarries and moves the household from Los Angeles to the small community of Blue Valley in Nebraska. While trying to fit in, Courtney discovers that her new stepfather, Pat Dugan (Wilson), was once the sidekick to a long-lost hero named Starman (Joel McHale). She also finds Starman’s powerful cosmic staff and is able to wield it. Soon, Courtney inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to help stop a group of villains from the past and to uphold the legacy of the first superhero team, the Justice Society of America. In the third season, Starman (McHale) is back from the dead and offering to train Courtney while she helps him adjust to his new life in the quiet town of Blue Valley. When there’s a murder that needs to be solved, the mystery not only has our heroes questioning the former super-villains’ commitment to truly reforming, but it leads Courtney, Pat, and Starman to a secret that shocks them all to their very core.

What do you think? Do you like the DC’s Stargirl TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
*11/1/22 update: DC’s Stargirl has been cancelled by The CW.
It was good in first season, then went bananas.
I am hearing Rumors that Stargirl even though is pretty surely ending on the CW , there is a very out side chance that it may get pick from a Streaming Service , like Paramount+ , that mean Paramount+ just a Streaming Service Like That , at this time that is a Rumor, in other words , The Second Coming has a better chance Of Happening , then Stargirl going on time will tell ?
By canceling the show CW……. Needs to cancel two more shows all American all American homecoming; those ratings are worse than this shows ratings. You can’t tell me it’s gonna cost more money to produce those other two shows which are probably even more expensive. Cancel those two shows and then there’s network has some Validity what they’re doing. Just honestly saying.
I forgot this show still exist.
I ended with whole Arrowverse after cancelling only watchable show called LEgends of Tomorrow. But don’t worry we will get more “masterpeices” like Powerpuff Girls or Gotham Knights. I hope CW will die soon.
These CW shows are the worst. I’ve moved on to HBO Max. Harley Quinn, Titans, and Pennyworth are amazing DC Comics shows. its like apples and oranges good.
Titans & Doom Patrol are produced by the same people who produce the CW shows- they’re distant cousins to the CW Arrowverse – if you paid strict attention to the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, you’ll see a glimpse of them.
