With the series expected to approach the superhero genre from a more young adult angle, Stargirl is already set to be a departure from the more graphic and adult series currently found on the DC Universe streaming service. But now, we’ve learned that the series will also be distinct from its fellow DC shows by being the first to air on linear television.
Per The CW, they will broadcast each episode the day after its debut on the DC Universe. Furthermore, after airing on The CW, each new episode of Stargirl will be available to stream on the network’s free digital platforms.
Although the forthcoming Brec Bassinger-led show will be the first DC Universe program to air on linear television, it’s not the only drama on the streaming service to find a second home, as Doom Patrol is set to be available on HBO Max.
Scheduled to premiere sometime in 2020, Stargirl will also feature Joel McHale (Community), Henry Thomas (The Haunting of Hill House), Lou Ferrigno Jr. (S.W.A.T.), Meg DeLacy (The Fosters), and Anjelika Washington (Shameless).
