‘DC’s Stargirl’ will be back to continue the good fight
Q: I’ve really been enjoying “DC’s Stargirl.” Is it a summer-only show? – Susan Zahn, Attleboro, Mass.
A: It is, at least so far, but the good news is that it will be back after this summer (likely at some point next year). And not only that, but The CW evidently is so pleased with the performance of the Brec Bassinger-starring adventure, the network has arranged to have the show exclusively for Season 2 – no longer sharing it with DC Universe, which has been streaming each episode the night before its CW debut.
The arrangement also sets up the Stargirl character nicely to be included along with other DC heroes and heroines in future crossover stories (as she was last season in “Crisis on Infinite Earths”) that unite the shows in what has been called the “Arrow-verse” ... though, now that “Arrow” is over, there may have to be a new label for that merging of CW series.
Q: I’m interested in the background of one of ABC’s newer reporters, Rachel Scott. Where did she work before joining that network? – Jon Harms, via e-mail
A: She just got a big promotion at ABC News, being named a White House and Washington, D.C., correspondent in a year when she has covered the Democratic primary season and President Donald Trump’s re-election bid (including all of his rallies).
Scott’s history with ABC dates back to 2016, soon after she graduated from the University of Southern California’s renowned Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. She first was a production associate and then worked on the digital side of “Good Morning America.” At the start of 2019, she became a producer with the network’s White House unit, then embedded with the Trump campaign and later became an on-air talent full-time.
