Dougray Scott will not be returning for the third season of
Batwoman on The CW. Scott has been playing Crows commander Jacob Kane on the series since the first season, but now he’s being written out of the show. Showrunner
Caroline Dries said:
“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.”
In the second season of
Batwoman, the Crows were taken out of commission, and since Kate Kane is also leaving Gotham City, there’s no reason for her father to stick around anymore.
