Brec Bassinger welcoming Superman & Lois (2021) into the CW family is amusingly ironic, since Stargirl (2020) itself is also technically a new CW series. Although the CW did have the broadcast rights, episodes only aired on TV the day after they were released on the streaming service DC Universe; when it was renewed for season 2, it was announced that the show would move exclusively to the CW.
