The CW may be losingArrowin 2020 as the series comes to an end after eight seasons, but another DC hero is waiting in the wings to fill that void. DC's Universe's Stargirl will air on The CW in 2020, with episodes airing the day after they drop on the streaming service.

The CW announced the news of this rare streaming-to-broadcast deal on Thursday, noting that the deal will also extend to The CW's free digital platforms the day after each episode's linear debut. So far, DC Universe has not released a premiere date for Stargirl, but it is expected to debut in the second quarter of 2020, meaning this could be a spring or summer prime-time show for The CW.
