John Diggle's Arrowverse spin-off show, Justice U, has officially been canceled by The CW after years of development hell. The CW is slowly putting an end to their superhero properties, with The Flash season 9 ending its run this month, while Superman & Lois and Gotham Knights' fates have yet to be determined. However, one DC TV project that has been up in the air is Justice U, which was set to be headlined by David Ramsey as Arrow's Diggle.
As the TV Upfronts were happening this week, The CW gave updates on various projects that are either going forward or getting cancelled. According to TV Line, The CW's new President of Entertainment, Brad Schwartz, confirmed that Diggle's Arrowverse spin-off show, Justice U, along with Powerpuff and the female-focused Zorro drama, are officially not moving forward. Per TVLine, there is no word yet if Justice U or any of the other shows will be shopped around to other platforms. For now, Schwartz stated that their respective studios have the option to re-develop or sell them elsewhere.
We’ve already given those back to the studios, so they’re free to develop those and sell them anywhere.
