After the cliffhanger ending in both reel and the real end of Batwoman season one finale, fans were all excited for Season two. Season one was already cut down to twenty episodes from the predetermined twenty-two. All because of the current pandemic hit around the world. By the first season of Batwoman ended, Ruby Rose departed from the show. As she was playing the character of Batwoman, many expected another character would replace her in Batwoman Season 2.
Even CW was thinking about recasting someone in place of Ruby’s Batwoman. But then there comes an unexpected change. It was recently announced that there would be entirely a new character playing Batwoman instead of Kate Kane (played by Ruby Rose). It was made official that in the new Batwoman season 2, the Batwoman character Ryan Wilder, played by Javicia Leslie.
Cast Of Batwoman Season 2
As we have said, Javicia Leslie will enter the cast as Ryan Wilder, a.k.a Batwoman, in the second season. Other cast members from season one, such as Rachel Skarsten (who plays Alice), Nicole Kang (Mary Hamilton), Meagan Tandy (Sophie Moore), Camrus Johnson (Luke Fox), and Dougray Scott (Jake Kane), will be returning.

What’s in for the new Season?
The first season ended with Alice making plans to get her hands on the Kryptonite by sending Tommy Elliott in Bruce Wayne’s visage. This is to take it from Bruce Wayne’s Wayne Enterprises.
