After taking on the role of Kate Kane and her crime-fighting alter ego for only one season, the ‘Orange Is the New Black’ star announces that she will not return for the second season.
May 20, 2020
AceShowbiz – Ruby Rose won’t be back as TV’s groundbreaking “Batwoman” – the Australian star has quit the series after one season.
The “Orange Is the New Black” star made huge headlines when she was cast as Kate Kane and her crime-fighting alter ego in 2018, becoming the first openly-gay TV comic book superhero, but the role came with a lot of drama off camera.
“Batwoman” devotees made it clear they weren’t thrilled about Rose’s casting and she suffered a sickening on-set accident, which left her needing emergency neck surgery. Rose also had a horrific allergic reaction to the tape used to secure her mask, causing her to break out in hives.
However, the series debuted to rave reviews and a second season has already been secured – without Ruby.
Announcing her “very difficult decision” to quit “Batwoman” in a statement, the actress writes, “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.”
“I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created… Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”
Series co-creator Berlanti has assured fans the show will go on with another actress as Kane/Batwoman.
“Warner Bros. Television, The CW and Berlanti Productions thank Ruby for her contributions to the success of our first season and wish her all the best,” a production statement reads. “The studio and network are firmly committed to Batwoman’s second season and long-term future, and we – along with the show’s talented creative team – look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months.”

30-year-old Amanda Smith has reportedly suffered a burst vertebrae and other serious spinal injuries after being struck on the head with the bucket of a boom lift.
Mar 17, 2020
AceShowbiz – A 30-year-old production assistant has been left paralysed following an accident on the “Batwoman” set.
Amanda Smith was hospitalised on 11 March after she was struck on the head with the bucket of a boom lift. She suffered a burst vertebrae and other serious spinal injuries, according to the Vancouver Sun.
Reports suggest she is currently recovering and in good spirits, although she has no feeling in her legs.
Friends and family are hoping she will regain sensation and use of her legs in rehabilitation.
Her friend, Tyler Mazzucco, has launched a rehabilitation fund in Smith’s name that has already topped $25,000 (£20,400) – halfway to its $50,000 (£41,000) goal.
Production on “Batwoman”, starring Ruby Rose, was suspended after the accident and the series is now on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
