It’s unclear why Rose decided to leave the show and in a statement, she said “I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season. This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew, and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.”

Rose’s groundbreaking role was the first gay lead character, male or female, of a live-action superhero series. The series is interested in casting another LGBTQ actress as the lead role.

In September, Rose sustained an injury while doing a stunt on the set of Season 1 which caused her to have emergency surgery for two herniated discs. A source told Variety that her decision to leave “had nothing to do with her health or injury.”

The CW renewed Batwoman for the 2020-2021 season in January.

Anweis, whose other TV credits include  911, Twin Peaks: The Return, The Affair and NCIS: Los Angeles, has been tapped to star in The CW’s drama pilot opposite Ruby Rose.

According to Variety, Anweis will play Catherine Hamilton-Kane, Kate Kane’s (aka Batwoman’s) step-mother. Catherine made her fortune as a savvy, bullheaded defense contractor, and all those billions position her as one of Gotham’s most powerful residents. For Catherine, it’s a matter of the bottom line: Batwoman is bad for business.

She joins the previously announced Dougray Scott, Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Nicole Kang, and Rachel Skarsten.

Batwoman follows Kate Kane (Rose), armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, who soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence.

Batwoman is written by Caroline Dries and directed by Marcos Siega.

Ruby Rose’s Batwoman series is officially coming to television with a stand-alone series after being handed a pilot order from The CW. 

The news of a pilot order was announced Thursday. Emmy-winning Game of Thrones helmer, David Nutter has been tapped to direct. Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries) has been set as showrunner and writer, while Greg Berlanti will exec producer.

The pilot order marks the first gay lead character — male or female — of a live-action superhero series played by an openly gay Rose. Rose debuted her Batwoman just a few weeks ago in the DC Comics series crossover Elseworlds.

“Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”

The CW and Warner Bros. TV treated fans of Rose and the iconic DC Comics superhero to a first look image of the actress as the superwoman ahead of the Arrowverse crossover event. 

The first image of Rose in character was unveiled Tuesday on DC Comics official Twitter account. In the photo, the 32-year-old actress is clad in the iconic black-and-white caped catsuit complete with Kate Kane’s signature red locks and of course the bat insignia emblazoned on her chest.

The standalone Batwoman series is currently in development for the 2019-20 television season at The CW with Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schecter at the helm. The official logline for Batwoman reads: “Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”

Rose celebrated her new role in August, writing on Instagram, “The Bat is out of the bag and I am beyond thrilled and honored. I’m also an emotional wreck.. because this is a childhood dream. This is something I would have died to have seen on TV when I was a young member of the LGBT community who never felt represented on TV and felt alone and different.

If the project goes to series, Rose will be the first to star as a gay lead character in a live-action superhero TV show.

The three-night DC crossover event kicks off Sunday, December 9.
