The CW has canceled Batwoman after three seasons on air, showrunner Caroline Dries has announced.

Dries announced the news on Twitter, writing, "Just got the sad news that Batwoman will not be seeing an season 4. I am bummed, but full of gratitude. What an honor to make 51 episodes. So many inspiring, brilliant people contributed to this series. Thank you producers, cast and crew. Thank you, fans! We love you."

Batwoman began its run back in October 2019, with its first season telling the story of Bruce Wayne's cousin Kate Kane, played by Ruby Rose, who becomes Batwoman in Batman's absence. However, Rose exited the series after the first season, and in her place entered a brand new character, former convict Ryan Wilder, played by Javicia Leslie. From there, the series would continue Kate Kane's story but focus primarily on Ryan Wilder as she works to protect Gotham City as the new Batwoman.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
