Now, Ruby sent her love on Instagram story and said she is “stoked” about the casting.

“I’m sorry I didn’t congratulate @wallisday yesterday.. I knew about the casting beforehand and didn’t know when it aired so i forgot to,” she shared. “But I’m stoked for her! I’m seeing all the things I’m tagged in with people sad or wondering how I felt .. I feel great I have nothing but good vibes.”

Wallis also took to Instagram to express her excitement for her new role.

“Super excited to finally announce I’m joining the cast of Batwoman. I’m sure you can imagine how much this means to me and how incredible it’s been working on the show so far. It’s a huge responsibility stepping into the shoes of a character that’s already been established and it’s a journey I’m looking forward to being a part of and hoping you guys do too,” Wallis said. “Everyone’s made me feel so welcome and it’s amazing being back home with my DC family 🦇♥️”

Wallis can be seen throughout the rest of the season of Batwoman as we learn about what happened to Kate’s plane.

Wallis Day will be playing Kate Kane on The CW’s Batwoman!

The 26-year-old actress is taking over the role originally played by Ruby Rose in season one, THR reports.

If you missed it, in the season two premiere it was revealed that Kate Kane had gone missing after a plane crash.

On this past Sunday night’s episode of Batwoman, Kate was revealed to be alive, but she is unrecognizable due to her injuries. She was shown bandaged up and held hostage.

It is important to note that although Kate Kane has reappeared, Javicia Leslie‘s Ryan Wilder will continue to be Batwoman.

Earlier this month, Ruby had even just said that she would be down to return to the Kate Kane role!

“I mean, I’m obviously moving on to other roles as I think I’ve done about three films since. I would totally do it,” she told ComicBookMovie.com. “I don’t think it would serve the story because I think building the new Batwoman is more important than going back too far into Kate Kane, but of course I would, I would absolutely do anything they wanted as far as that.”

“I haven’t watched the whole thing, but I’ve watched a couple of episodes, and I think how they’re handling it is beautiful. I think it’s her time to shine,” Ruby added.

If you missed it, Batwoman has received an early season three renewal!

“Now, we go into these stunts an they have to do two takes. They have to do one take where they know I’m going to break and laugh, and smile, and then they’ll do another take where I’ll actually try to take it serious and be in character,” she told Ellen.

“This Sunday’s episodes, I get to pretty much skydive. So I really want you guys to see it, it’s going to be really dope,” she teased up about the upcoming episode.

Among the early renewals include new show Walker, as well as Riverdale, The Flash, Legacies, Batwoman, Charmed, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Nancy Drew, Roswell, New Mexico, In The Dark, Dynasty, and All American.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Roswell, New Mexico, In The Dark and Dynasty have yet to premiere their new seasons on the network.

“Though we’re just a few weeks into the new season, we wanted to get a strategic head start on next season with these early renewals, which allows our production teams to start laying out story arcs and hiring staff, and at the same time, continues to provide us with a strong, stable schedule to build on for next season,” CW President Mark Pedowitz said in a statement.

“As The CW’s 2020-2021 season kicks into high gear, we are thrilled creatively with the direction of our first new shows out of the gate, Walker and Superman & Lois, that we wanted to order the additional episodes to complete their first seasons, and we are particularly pleased with the huge success of the launch of Walker, which debuted as our most watched series premiere in 5 years.”

The CW has also ordered five more episodes for Walker‘s current first season, and two more episodes of Superman & Lois, which premieres later this month.

WARNING! THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS!!

The second season of Batwoman premiered on Sunday night (January 17) and addressed one thing on everyone’s mind…

The season kicked off addressing what happened to Kate Kane, who was played by Ruby Rose in season one.

Kate was on a plane that had suffered a technical failure while flying over Gotham City and came crashing down. Though the plane crashed, Kate’s body has not been found, so she is now missing.

During the episode, Alice (Rachel Skarsten) received a paper airplane from a newspaper clipping about Kate’s disappearance, and on it, “Consider Us Even – Safiyah,” was written in red, hinting that Safiyah Sohail was responsible for the plane crash.

After Ruby Rose announced she was leaving the show, showrunner Caroline Dries confirmed that the character would not be killed off.

“We’ll never erase her. In fact, her disappearance will be one of the mysteries of Season 2. I don’t want to give away any of our surprises, but to all our devoted fans, please know that LGBTQ+ justice is at the very core of what Batwoman is and we have no intention of abandoning that,” she previously told TV Line last summer.

Batwoman season two premieres TONIGHT (January 17) and there’s an all new person under the mask!

In case you forgot, Ruby Rose shockingly announced that she was stepping away from the series in May 2020, then, two months later, Javicia Leslie landed the role in July.

Javicia‘s role is a whole new character named Ryan Wilder, instead of just taking over as Kate Kane. Her casting makes history as she is the FIRST Black woman to play Batwoman!

Ryan Wilder is likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the Batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant.

A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical all-American hero.

Javicia recently opened up about her role in the show being much more than just her being cast.

You may most likely recognize Javicia from her role as Ali Finer in CBS’ God Friended Me. She’s also been in the BET series The Family Business, and the movie Always a Bridesmaid. Learn more about Javicia here!

Batwoman will air weekly at 8pm ET/PT on The CW!
