The CW Renews Seven Scripted Series: ‘The Flash’, ‘Kung Fu’, ‘All American’, ‘Nancy Drew’, ‘Superman & Lois’, ‘Walker’ & ‘Riverdale’ Returning
22.03.2022 - 23:53 / deadline.com
The CW has handed early renewals to a large portion of its scripted schedule including The Flash.
The network has renewed All American, The Flash, Kung Fu, Nancy Drew, Riverdale, Superman & Lois and Walker.
Traditionally, the youth-skewing network hands out early renewals, sometimes as early as January, to the majority of its slate – a boon for its owners CBS and Warner Bros.
However, this year, the broadcaster’s future is up in the air with local affiliate group Nexstar circling and Deadline understands that a new majority owner will likely have a say in some of its renewal decisions. The network also needs to take into account elements such as streaming rights to shows and other variables that will determine a pick up.
The renewal of flagship series The Flash for a ninth season, making it the network’s longest running Arrowverse series, taking over that mantle from Arrow, which ended after eight seasons, was paved earlier this year with the news that star Grant Gustin was in talks for a new deal. There’s no word from The CW yet as to whether season nine will be The Flash’s swansong.
Some of the other renewals were more of a given that others. All American was expected to return for season five and Superman & Lois and Walker were good for third seasons.
Riverdale was also expected to return for its seventh season but similarly there’s no word as to whether this will be its final season or not.
Kung Fu only launched its second season earlier this month but is now coming back for a third season.
Nancy Drew, however, was thought to be slightly more on the bubble and will now return for a fourth season. That comes as spinoff series Tom Swift also has yet to launch on the network.
There are two other tranches of shows that the
