Stargirl is a TV series based on the Comic Book character of the same name, created by Geoff Johns. The character started life as “The Star-Spangled Kid” before taking on the mantle of Stargirl.

Stargirl, the TV series, is about teenager Courtney Whitmore, who discovers that her new stepfather has a past as part of a superhero group, and may be connected to her own past, as well.

When she finds the mysterious Cosmic Staff, a powerful weapon that is supposed to only work for the deceased hero Starman, Courtney set out to do some good in the world and try to live up to the legacy that she has inherited.

Originally developed for the DC Universe Streaming App, Stargirl is now slated to premiere on the app starting Monday, May 18th, with new episodes airing on the CW the following day!
