We won't get to see the rest of Batwoman's first season (which will form part of the second) until January after The CW made some big changes to its 2020/2021 schedule. Shows normally begin in October, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the network has had to shake things up.
Now, we have a new synopsis for Batwoman season two which drops some big hints about what's to come. As you can see below, the breakdown references what comes next after that premature season finale, and teases some game-changing consequences set to hit both Gotham City and the Bat-Family.
Season two kicks off with a major game-changer that will alter Gotham and The Bat Team forever. As the dust settles, Batwoman has everything working against her – including the recently escaped rogues' gallery of villains – and everyone will come to see her in a whole new light. Alice meets her match when she becomes entangled with a dangerous foe from her past who knows exactly how to prey on her vulnerabilities. As Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Mary (Nicole Kang) find their footing as sidekicks, a romance will shake up their dynamic. Meanwhile, Sophie (Megan Tandy) and Julia's (guest star Christina Wolfe) budding relationship will face its first real test and make Sophie question everything she thought she knew to be true.
Recently, Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries confirmed that villainous pirate Safiyah Sohail will be a major villain in season two, so the series is clearly going to continue to use new villains rather than those closely associated with Batman. Will that work? The response to Alice has been mixed, so the jury is out (the vast majority of comic book fans would definitely prefer some familiar faces).
What are your thoughts on these first details about the upcoming second season of Batwoman?
