The CW Grants Early Renewals to All 11 of its Shows!

The CW. Where the ratings don’t matter, and the execs give every show a chance!

You get a season renewal! And you get a season renewal! At least that’s what it feels like when it was announced that the CW granted early renewal to all 11 of its current television shows.

We will see the following shows return for the 2016-2017 TV season:

• Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Season 2)
• Jane the Virgin (Season 3)
• The Flash (Season 3)
• iZombie (Season 3)
• Arrow (Season 5)
• Supernatural (Season 12)
• DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (Season 2)
• The 100 (Season 4)
• The Vampire Diaries (Season 8)
• The Originals (Season 4)
• Reign (Season 4)

The CW’s president, Mark Pedowitz, had this to say about the renewals: “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. 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.”

The network also revealed the season finale dates for each show (excluding Reign, which returns April 25th). The dates, times, and shows can be viewed in the image to the left.

By the CW making this move of renewing every show, and streaming sites like Hulu and Netflix becoming more popular, will ratings become a thing of the past? Probably not, but it’s interesting to think about.
