Courtney and her friends are going to get more time to learn how to be heroes. The CW has renewed DC’s Stargirl TV show for a second season. The series won’t be returning to DC Universe.

DC’s Stargirl stars Brec Bassinger, Luke Wilson, Amy Smart, Trae Romano, Cameron Gellman, Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, Meg DeLacy, Neil Jackson, Jake Austin Walker, Christopher James Baker, and Hunter Sansone. The series follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore (Bassinger). Her teen life is turned upside down when her mother (Smart) remarries and then 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. Soon, Courtney inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to help stop a group of villains from the past, the Injustice Society, who once destroyed the legendary Justice Society of America.

The first season of DC’s Stargirl averages a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.05 million viewers. It’s one of the network’s highest-rated summer series.

First season episodes of the series currently premiere on Mondays on the DC Universe streaming platform and are then broadcast on The CW on Tuesday nights. In year two, Stargirl will air on The CW and will then be available via the network’s app for streaming the next day.

Here’s the renewal press release:
