Stargirl series creator Geoff Johns has promised that the upcoming second season won't be affected by the broadcasting change.

There has been talk that season 2 will receive a smaller budget because of its exit from streaming service DC Universe (it's now exclusive to The CW). Johns addressed the speculation in an interview with TVLine.

"We have an amazing team, an amazing cast, amazing writers, and we're going to deliver the best show possible," he said.

"Our goal is to deliver a show that is cinematic and different than all the other shows and is of the utmost quality, and we have a lot of talented people to do that."

Johns also offered some details on where the money gets spent.

"Start-up costs are always the most expensive, obviously – the building and testing, and a lot of that we've already done," he said. "We have some new things to get into, which is exciting, but we wouldn't do season 2 if we didn't think we could make it as good as season 1 but different.

"We're going to explore different story, different thematics, different avenues for the characters.

"We're all working incredibly hard on this because we're so proud of season 1, and we want season 2 to be even better. That's our goal, nothing less."

Stargirl season 1 is available to watch on DC Universe and The CW in the US. The series will premiere on Friday, August 21 on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
