Every week, The GLAAD Wrap brings you LGBT-related entertainment news highlights, fresh stuff to watch out for, and fun diversions to help you kick off the weekend.<\/p>\n

DC’s Batwoman, who came out as a lesbian in the comics 10 years ago, is finally going to be featured on screen.<\/a> Batwoman, aka Kate Kane, is a main character in Batman: Bad Blood<\/em>, which DC released direct to DVD, Blu-ray and iTunes. This is the first time the character of Kate and her sexuality will be on screen, and hopefully she will keep appearing in the DC cinematic universe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Out actress\/writer\/comedian Cameron Esposito has teamed up with You’re the Worst<\/em> creator Stephen Falk for a new FX comedy<\/a>. The story, based on Esposito’s life, will follow two sisters, one gay<\/a> and one straight, as they deal with 2016’s hurdles. The show is in development at FX and will explore issues of gender and sexuality if picked up by the network.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Amazon has ordered another pilot from Transparent <\/em>creator Jill Soloway.<\/a> The comedy, I Love Dick, <\/em>is based on the book by Chris Kraus, and stars Katheryn Hahn as half of a married couple<\/a> that becomes obsessed with a professor named Dick. Transparent, <\/em>nominated for a GLAAD Media Award<\/a>, has been one of Amazon’s most successful original shows, so it only makes sense for this partnership with Soloway to continue.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The CW’s musical\/comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend <\/em>revealed on Monday that Darryl Whitefeather (Pete Gardner), one of the series regulars, is bisexual<\/a>. He shared a kiss with the recurring character of “White Josh” (David Hull) at the end of the episode, after proudly declaring himself “bothsexual.”  This revelation promises to further explore the romance between the two men<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Out actress Caitlin Stasey, known for her work on Reign<\/em> and the GLAAD Media Award nominated Please Like Me<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>has been cast in A.P.B.<\/em>, a drama pilot from Fox.<\/a> In other TV news, NBC has renewed their freshman comedy Superstore <\/em>for a second season.<\/a> The show revolves around employees of a chain superstore, and includes the out character of Mateo (Nico Santos).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, out actress and comedian Kate McKinnon made an appearance on the Ellen show<\/a>, identically dressed as Ellen herself.
