The CW’s superhero series Batwoman will introduce a new lead character following the shock departure of actor Ruby Rose.
In the first season, Rose had portrayed Kate Kane, the cousin of Bruce Wayne who fought crime under the alter-ego of Batwoman.
Decider reports that, rather than attempt to recast the character, series chiefs are looking to re-focus the show on a character called Ryan Wilder.
Rose has not confirmed the exact reasons for leaving the series; reports suggest that tensions arose as Rose was dissatisfied with the long hours required of her to work on set.
