Batwoman has been officially canceled at The CW.
Following three seasons and a social media campaign to bring back the show for a fourth season that failed, showrunner Caroline Dries announced Batwoman has been canceled on Twitter. Check out the tweets below.
“Just got the sad news that Batwoman will not be seeing an S4. I am bummed, but full of gratitude. What an honor to make 51 episodes. So many inspiring, brilliant people contributed to this series. Thank you producers, cast and crew. Thank you, fans! We love you,” said Dries Friday.
As I have pointed out many times, the news of the cancellation doesn’t come as a surprise as the ratings for Batwoman have been in the gutter. In addition, when the show launched with Ruby Rose, it promoted an anti-male and even an anti-Batman agenda, so it’s no wonder fans didn’t watch the show. Then there were problems surrounding Ruby Rose and production which saw Rose replaced by Javicia Leslie, but the ratings dropped further.
With Batwoman canceled, it now seems likely Legends of Tomorrow will get the ax as well, as both shows took to social media to beg for renewals.
Update: DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is canceled.
