Notes and Trivia

Stargirl was renewed ahead of its second season premiere, as The CW sought stability in their future line-ups.^[2]
When speaking on the renewal, CW president Mark Pedowitz said, “While each boasts remarkable talent on both sides of the camera, Kung Fu and DC’s Stargirl have not only treated fans to some visually stunning action and high-flying heroics, but they also both strike very powerful emotional chords as they delve into the family dynamics and personal relationships at their core, and we are so excited to see what happens next.”^[2]
The pick-up of Stargirl, meanwhile, is part of a deal between The CW and HBO Max to co-finance the show. The show originally aired as part of DC Universe, but was renewed for a second season by The CW in summer 2020 and a deal was worked out between the broadcast network and the streamer where The CW gets first run followed by its launch on HBO Max.^[2]
Neil Hopkins (Larry Crock) and Joy Osmanski (Paula Brooks) were promoted to series regulars for this season.^[7] They previously appeared as recurring guest stars in Season 1 and Season 2.
Stargirl graphic designer Shawn McBee confirmed that the series would not be moving to Vancouver for Season 3, but rather, they would stay in Atlanta as they had in previous seasons.^[11] He later reiterated that he had information from the highest authority that not only would the series not leave Atlanta for Season 3, but there were no foreseeable moves in the future.^[12]
Season 3 production began on October 4th, 2021.
Yvette Monreal arrived in Georgia on September 26, 2021. The cast had already shipped their cars by the 22nd.^[13]
Joel McHale will be part of the cast in some capacity, as he stated in an interview with Anjelika Washington that he would be joining her in Georgia "soon".^[14]
The first table read for the season was held on October 1, 2021.
- The confirmed attendees of the virtual table read were Brec Bassinger, Cameron Gellman, Anjelika Washington, Meg DeLacy, Amy Smart, Trae Romano, Alkoya Brunson, Neil Hopkins, Joy Osmanski, Stella Smith, Joel McHale, and Jonathan Cake.
- The capacity in which some of these cast members appear (starring, guest starring, co-starring) is unknown at this time.
- A portion of the script also teased a conversation between Sylvester Pemberton and Courtney Whitmore.
Because of the off-screen chemistry between Meg DeLacy and Yvette Monreal, Geoff Johns made a conscious decision to explore the dynamic between Cindy and Yolanda. Meg teased that the relationship is very mean-girl-esque with a lot of retorts. She found it fun for Cindy to be mean towards Yolanda and having that thrown back at her by Yolanda.^[15]
James Dale Robinson wrote the seventh and twelfth episode of the season.
Anjelika Washington teased that Beth and Cindy might become friends this season.
