DC Universe’s upcoming Stargirl series will also air on The CW Television Network.

DC Universe’s upcoming slate of original shows includes a series centered on Stargirl, the young heroine created Geoff Johns and inspired by the comic book writer’s late sister, who was killed in 1996 in a plane explosion. Today, it was announced that new episodes of Stargirl will also air on The CW one day after they debut on DC Universe.

The episodes of Stargirl will also be available on The CW’s digital platforms such as The CW seed. The deal is similar to the one Warner Bros. has to stream the second season of DC Universe’s Doom Patrol on HBO Max as well.

Here is the official synopsis for DC Universe’s Stargirl:

High school sophomore Courtney Whitmore who inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new DC Universe series reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in a fun, exciting and unpredictable series premiering in 2019, produced by Warner Bros. Television, Mad Ghost Productions and Berlanti Productions.

Stargirl stars Brec Bassinger as Courtney Whitemore, Joel McHale as Starman, Luke Wilson as Pat Dugan, Meg DeLacy as Cindy Burman, with Anjelika Washington, Yvette Monreal, Christopher James, and Jake Austin Walker in undisclosed roles. Geoff Johns will write and executive produce the 13-episode first season of Stargirl. Sarah Schechter and Arrowverse boss Greg Berlanti will also serve as executive producers on the series.

Stargirl is scheduled to debut on DC Universe and The CW in 2020.
