Here’s Your First Look at Ruby Rose as the New Small Screen Batwoman!
As announced a couple months back, The Meg star Ruby Rose has been cast as DC’s Batwoman for The CW, her iteration of the character debuting in December as part of the network’s annual DC Arrowverse crossover event. *Potentially,* Rose’s Batwoman will then be getting her own standalone television series, though that’s not yet set in stone.
EW notes, “Although details about the crossover are scarce, we do know a few things. First, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), Green Arrow (Stephen Amell), and the Flash (Grant Gustin) wind up traveling to Gotham City because of the machinations of Dr. John Deegan, a possibly insane Arkham Asylum doctor played by Lost‘s Jeremy Davies. Furthermore, the epic event will also introduce the Monitor (Designated Survivor‘s LaMonica Garrett), a DC Comics character of multiversal importance, Lois Lane (Grimm‘s Elizabeth Tulloch), and Nora Fries (Cassandra Jean Amell). Tyler Hoechlin will also reprise the role of Superman.”

This year’s Arrowverse event, “Elseworlds,” begins Sunday night, December 9.
AMC announced today it has renewed Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire for a fourth season, and it’s officially titled Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned.
The news was announced during its Comic-Con International Hall H panel for The Vampire Lestat featuring series executive producers Mark Johnson and Hannah Moscovitch and castmates Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian and Sheila Atim.
Based on the beloved novel, Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned will be executive produced and showrun by Moscovitch, along with executive producers Johnson and Rolin Jones.
An accomplished writer and playwright, Moscovitch was a writer on the first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire and an executive producer on The Vampire Lestat, for which she specifically wrote the “Akasha” and “Gabriella” characters.
“In The Vampire Lestat, Mark, Rolin, Hannah and this extraordinary cast delivered an unforgettable season filled with propulsive storytelling that captivated the passionate and engaged fans of this franchise,” said Dan McDermott, Chief Content Officer of AMC Global Media and President of AMC Studios. “We can’t wait to continue the journey with Queen of the Damned, one of the most iconic stories in Anne Rice’s mythology, and watch our established and beloved characters confront Akasha with their world, and ours, very much hanging in the balance.”
The Vampire Lestat stars Sam Reid, Anderson, Zaman, Bogosian, Atim, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by award-winning producer Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Jones, Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.
In season three, Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rise, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
He awakens Akasha (Sheila Atim), the eponymous character of season four. Watch the teaser below.
All hail your new queen.
