The Australian actress released her statement,
“I have made the very difficult decision to not return to ‘Batwoman’ next season. This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.”
She then continued,
“I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created.”
Although the actress did not mention anything relating to her accident, it might be the number one factor of her exit. Earlier this year, she injured her spine and herniated two disks in her back while filming. She underwent surgery in order to prevent her from having paralysis.
The actress also experienced chronic pain and unable to feel her arms. Furthermore, a crew member was also injured. The crew became paralyzed from the waist down after an onset stunt incident.
Rose detailed her traumatic accident on her Instagram account. Additionally, she included her video surgery on her account.

Back in 2016, Beatriz opened up in being bisexual. It became part of the script in Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 5.
Currently, CW’s TV series production is set for 2021. Time will only tell if Beatriz will be able to film for Batwoman while also filming for Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
