10 TV Shows That RECAST Major Characters
2. Batwoman
The news of Ruby Rose's departure from Batwoman is still so fresh that it feels strange writing it down. And yet, it's very real, meaning that the leading actress of a show that is quite literally named after her character is going to have to be recast.
Rose initially portrayed the role in Elseworlds: The 2018 Arrowverse crossover between The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl. She then went onto reprise that in the first full season of Batwoman, bringing the dual roles of Kate Kane and the Scarlet Knight to life so well that she impressed even the toughest of critics.
Nobody fully knows why Rose made the decision to leave the show - especially when she recently seemed excited to return for the second season - but The CW is going to have its work cut out for it considering that she's become so synonymous with the character over the past year that it's hard to imagine anyone taking her place.
