Stargirl Will Return Much Later Than Anyone Figured
The CW put out its schedule of summer premieres this morning. The biggest question was where fan favorite Stargirl was going to appear — the network had previously promised “summer 2021” but did not elaborate further.
While the date is technically within the summer, it’s cutting things close. We won’t get Season 2 of Stargirl until AUGUST 10. Spending the breezy summer months with Courtney Whitmore was nice last year, especially under lockdown circumstances…summer feels like a good zone for this sunny series, but apparently CW wanted to save some of it for the fall (which is actually a good sign for its future, but…)
In the meantime, it’s not like there’ll be nothing on. Due to the delay in launching this season due to COVID, there will be a lot more CW originals to check out this summer, like the return of Superman and Lois (new episodes will air into August). The Republic Of Sarah begins its run July 26. In The Dark, which only I watch, begins its third season June 23. Roswell New Mexico is back starting July 26 before Republic of Sarah.
CW recently pulled Riverdale off its schedule and told us it would be back July 7. They lied..the thing doesn’t return until August 11. And when Supergirl goes on hiatus this May, it won’t be back until August 24 (and you can be assured they won’t have resolved this “Phantom Zone” tedium before then). You can also expect the usual avalanche of Canadian imports to fill unused airtime…something called a “WELLINGTON PARANORMAL” is taking up multiple slots.
