This is on top of some rather personal drama for Ryan, who (spoiler alert for season two!<\/strong>) is set to finally meet her birth mother, who is not quite who she expected.<\/p>\n The Bat Family will also have their own issues to contend with as Luke suits up as the first-live action Batwing, while there also looks to finally\u00a0<\/em>be some movement in his relationship with Mary.<\/p>\n Plus, as an Arrowverse<\/a> show there\u2019s always the potential for a crossover\u2026<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Batwoman season three.<\/p>\n Batwoman season three was quick to get a green light, with The CW renewing the show after only three episodes of season two had aired.<\/p>\n The superhero series will return in the US in a new Wednesday time-slot, with season three premiering on 13th October 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n However, UK broadcaster E4 tends not to air new episodes until a few months after they went out in the US \u2013 so don\u2019t expect Batwoman\u2019s third season to arrive on UK screens until early 2022<\/strong>.<\/p> There\u2019ll be no main character shake-up this time around \u2013 Javicia Leslie will be suiting up in the cape and cowl once again for her second year as Ryan Wilder.<\/p>\n She\u2019ll be joined by most of the returning supporting cast, including Meagan Tandy as Sophie Moore, Camrus Johnson as Luke Fox, Nicole Kang as Mary Hamilton, and Rachel Skarsten as Alice.<\/p>\n However following Ruby Rose\u2019s departure as Kate Kane last year, yet another original character played by a big-name actor will be leaving \u2013 Dougray Scott\u2019s Jacob Kane.<\/p>\n Jacob had a rough ride over the first two seasons when he became addicted to Snakebite after becoming overwhelmed by grief. The showrunners eventually decided that Jacob would be used to wrap up the Crows storyline, with the Kane patriarch disbanding Crows security after learning the full extent of their corruption.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce we kind of made that decision \u2013 and obviously Kate isn\u2019t staying on the show \u2013 this character of Jacob had sort of run its course, for better or for worse, through that story line,\u201d showrunner Caroline Dries told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSo it worked out that it was mutual [with Scott]. We ended up being able to really write to a good ending for Jacob, just kind of knowing in advance that\u2019s what we were going to do. I\u2019m very pleased with how that story line worked out for him.\u201d<\/p>\n However Batwoman will more than make up for Scott\u2019s departure \u2013 with five(!) brand new cast members set to make a rather big impression in Gotham.<\/p>\n It is the arrival of Riverdale<\/a> star Robin Givens\u2019 new character who will have the biggest impact on Ryan, as she will be playing Jada Jet, the CEO of Jet Industries who had to give up her first-born child \u2013 almost certainly making her Ryan\u2019s biological mother.<\/p>\n However Jada won\u2019t be the only new surprise family member for Ryan \u2013 as Law and Order: Organised Crime\u2019s Nick Creegan will appear as Marquis Jet, Jada\u2019s playboy son who in contrast to Ryan has grown up with a lavish lifestyle.<\/p>\n However the family reunion will have a thorn in its side in the form of Agent Carter\u2019s Bridget Regan, who will have a recurring role as Poison Ivy after the classic Batman villain was teased in the season two finale. She will be joined by Schmigadoon! star Amitai Marmorstein as Mad Hatter, whose hat was also released from the Batcave in the second season.<\/p>\n Finally, Victoria Cartagena has been cast as Renee Montoya \u2013 the same role she played in fellow DC series Gotham. However while the Arrowverse has crossed over with nearly every DC property, Gotham was one show that was never incorporated into the shared universe.<\/p>\n Instead, this will be a different Renee Montaya to the one seen in Gotham \u2013 with Batwoman\u2019s Renee a former Gotham police officer who now runs the \u201cfreaks division\u201d from the basement of the mayor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n Wallis Day<\/a> played the recast Kate Kane in Batwoman, who was, of course, the main character in season one (then played by Ruby Rose) and then reappeared in season two (now played by Day) to give the character a proper send-off.<\/p>\n However, as the season two finale implies \u2013 spoiler alert \u2013 Kate will not be appearing in season three, as she has left Gotham in search of her missing cousin Bruce Wayne.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s our way of wrapping up her journey,\u201d Dries told EW<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s ending how we met her, you know, in the absence of Bruce, and then bringing that full-circle and giving Kate a loving farewell between the Bat-team and Sophie.\u201d<\/p>\n Dries added that she would \u201cnever say never\u201d to a return for Day, but added that this was a farewell to Kate for now.<\/p>\n The first bombshell revelation that will surely be explored in season three is Alice\u2019s reveal that Ryan\u2019s biological mother did not die while giving birth to her, and is very much alive.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really like opening an old wound, and Ryan\u2019s not sure if she wants to deal with it,\u201d Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries told TVLine<\/a>. \u201cPart of her thinks Alice is messing with her, and deep down is hoping that Alice is messing with her, so she doesn\u2019t have to deal with this. What she ultimately learns is Alice was telling the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan\u2019s mother almost certainly looks to be powerful Jet Industries CEO Jada Jet, whose life as a business tycoon has been a far cry from Ryan\u2019s childhood spent growing up in foster homes. Complicating things is Jada\u2019s son and Ryan\u2019s potential brother Marquis Jet, an impetuous playboy who sees much of himself in Ryan as a like-minded young go-getter.<\/p>\n Leslie had previously revealed that she wanted Batwoman to feature classic Batman villains<\/a> Joker and Penguin \u2013 and it looks like her wish might be partly coming true.<\/p>\n The season two finale ended on a cliffhanger revealing that Penguin\u2019s umbrella, Mad Hatter\u2019s hat, and other villain trophies from the Batcave are now loose in Gotham, with one of Poison Ivy\u2019s vines also beginning taking root and sprouting.<\/p>\n \u201cLike literally a lot of your epic Batman villains, we have all of their weapons and they\u2019ve all been released into the river and people are going to find [them] and you\u2019re going to find the effects that these weapons have on these normal Gotham citizens and then becoming like these supervillains, and it\u2019s just going to be so much fun,\u201d Leslie told EW.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t wait! I\u2019m excited because we\u2019re about to start shooting season 3 and I can\u2019t wait to read the scripts and to see where it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n The season three trailer saw the Mad Hatter retrieve his hat and give a rather chilling speech at Gotham University Medical School, though also hinted that another classic Batman villain would be debuting in season three as Killer Croc made a surprise blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it appearance \u2013 before being confirmed to arrive in the second episode titled Loose Teeth.<\/p>\n Poison Ivy\u2019s vines were also seen in the trailer seemingly recovered and locked up, although the classic villain is confirmed to later appear in human form in a recurring role through the season. Dries has teased a major twist in the Poison Ivy storyline, hinting at a fresh take on the character\u2019s comic book history.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m super excited about the Poison Ivy storyline,\u201d Dries told TV Line. \u201cThere\u2019s a huge facet of it that we haven\u2019t revealed to the press that will be really fun for the audience to participate in. We do a combination of staying true to the Poison Ivy canon and what we normally do, which is put our own spin on it. It\u2019s a major story arc of the season, and we make it really really hard on Batwoman.\u201d<\/p>\n Leslie had previously revealed that she wants her Batwoman to have a supervillain love affair, similar to the famously rocky and complex relationship between Batwoman and Catwoman. However, while several new villains look to be introduced, it remains to be seen whether such a relationship will be incorporated into season three.<\/p>\n She told\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>and other press: \u201cYou know what I would love if I could pick anything? I love the energy that Batman and Catwoman had and I would love to have that super-villain love interest, where you know this person is really bad for you, but you can\u2019t help but want to be with them. So I would love that, for Batwoman to find her own version of Catwoman.\u201d<\/p>\n As the season two finale revealed, Camrus Johnson\u2019s Luke Fox has also suited up as Batwing \u2013 the first live-action portrayal of the superhero \u2013 and will be spending less time in the Batcave and more time fighting crime in season three.<\/p>\n JUSTICE.
