Final Trailer Released For DC's Upcoming STARGIRL Series
A final trailer has been released for DC’s upcoming Stargirl series, which is set to premiere next week. The trailer offers up some new footage as it sheds some light on the setting up of Stargirl’s story. I think the show looks like it’s going to be a blast!
The series stars Brec Bassinger (School of Rock) in the role of Courtney Whitmore, a.k.a. Stargirl, as she accepts her superhero destiny. Joel McHale also has a role in the series as Golden Age Starman/Sylvester Pemberton, and Luke Wilson is playing Pat Dugan.
Stargirl will follow the story of Courtney Whitmore (Bassinger) “who is a smart, athletic and above all else kind girl. This high school teenager’s seemingly perfect life hits a major speedbump when her mother gets married and her new family moves from Los Angeles, California to Blue Valley, Nebraska. Struggling to adapt to a new school, make new friends, and deal with a new step-family, Courtney discovers her step-father has a secret; he used to be the sidekick to a superhero. ‘Borrowing’ the long-lost hero’s cosmic staff, Courtney becomes the unlikely inspiration for an entirely new generation of superheroes.”
Bassinger is also joined by S.W.A.T.‘s Lou Ferrigno Jr. who was cast as Golden Age Hourman, Brian Stapf as Ted Grant/Wildcat, Amy Smart as Barbara Whitmore, Henry Thomas as Charles McNider/Dr Mid-Nite, and Anjelika Washington in an undisclosed role.
Stargirl debuts Monday, May 18 on DC Universe. It will debut on The CW the next day, Tuesday, May 19. You can watch the trailer below and under that, you’ll find the plot summaries for the first three episodes.
