The finale of Batwoman aired in the US yesterday, and in light of the revelations within, the showrunners have confirmed that certain actors and characters won’t be back for series 3 which starts airing in October.

Wallis Day’s Kate Kane gets a good farewell in the finale, and won’t be back (although she makes comments about National City so…) while Dougray Scott’s Jacob has also come to the end of the line. “This character of Jacob had sort of run its course, for better or for worse,” showrunner Caroline Dries told EW.com/ “We ended up being able to really write to a good ending for Jacob, just kind of knowing in advance that’s what we were going to do…. It allowed us to give Dougray some really rich stuff toward the end.”

“Having Dougray Scott as Jacob Kane on Batwoman was incredibly special for all of us,” Dries also said, in a statement. “An actor with his pedigree and reputation elevates any project, and he had great chemistry with his castmates. We loved telling Commander Kane’s story for the last two seasons, and we will always leave the door open to have him return. We wish him the very best!”
