The CW has given new season renewals to 11 of its series, the network announced Friday.
“Arrow,” “The Flash” and “Legends of Tomorrow,” the three DC comic-book universe shows, will all return for new episodes in the 2016-17 season, for Season 5, Season 3 and Season 2, respectively. The network’s two Golden Globe winners are coming back: “Jane The Virgin” for Season 3 and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” for Season 2.
Also renewed were the rest of the currently airing slate on the network: “The 100,” coming back for its fourth season; “iZombie,” coming back for Season 3, and “Supernatural,” returning for Season 12. “The Vampire Diaries” will be back for Season 8, and “The Originals” and “Reign” return for their fourth seasons.
“The CW has become home to some of the most critically-acclaimed shows on broadcast television, with a wide array of fantastic scripted series across the week, ranging from musical comedy, to superhero action, to gritty sci-fi dramas,” said network Mark Pedowitz in a statement. “As we continue to further our strategy of more year-round original programming, picking up these 11 series for the 2016-2017 season puts us in a great position of having proven, high-quality shows to launch in the fall as well as midseason and summer of 2017.”
There are no confirmed episode orders yet, and some shows will premiere in midseason or summer 2017.
