The CW has ordered season two of DC’s Stargirl. The show is about high school student Courtney as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. The show “reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series,” said The CW. 

Brec Bassinger stars. 

Geoff Johns created the characters for DC. He executive produces along with Melissa Carter, who is co-showrunner. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Greg Beeman also exec produce.

The show will stream on the CW platform the day after an episode premieres.
