“The CW has become known as the home of the best, most creative series on broadcast television, in a range of genres that appeal to the most balanced audience of any broadcast network, and the series we have for next season will absolutely continue to fit that bill,” the president of the CW, Mark Pedowitz, stated at the CW upfronts on Thursday May 19th.
Various cast members of CW shows appeared and chatted – and of course – revealed the channel’s upcoming lineup for the 2016-2017 fall TV season. With Supergirl joining them this year, the channel has a superhero show airing almost every night (The Vampire Diaries airing on Fridays is its only exception)!
The new schedule is as fellows:
Monday: -8/7pmc: Supergirl (New Network)
-9/8pmc: Jane the Virgin
Tuesday: -8/7pmc: The Flash
-9/8pmc: No Tomorrow (New Series)
Wednesday: -8/7pmc: Arrow

-9/8pmc: Supernatural (New Night)
Friday: -8/7pmc: The Vampire Diaries
-9/8pmc: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (New Night)

Don’t see your favorite CW show on this schedule? It’s probably on the mid-season roster. Unfortunately we will have to wait until early 2017 for The 100, iZombie, The Originals, Reign, and new series, Riverdale.
Here at With An Accent, we are excited to continue to cover: Arrow, The Flash, iZombie and Reign.
The CW also unveiled their usual ‘Dare to Defy’ teaser, promoting their new lineup, which can be viewed below.
What are your thoughts on the new schedule/line up? I find it amusing that the CW has so many TV series this season that they had to push some to air during mid-season time slots. But with that said, I find it odd that The Vampire Diaries and its spin-off, The Originals, aren’t at least airing in the same week as each other. Could this mean the end for the vampire spin-off?
Do you think the CW should have incorporated a 7/6pmc or 10/9pm time slot? I don’t see why it would have hurt to do so.

I’m with you: why not do a 7 or 10 time slot? Who even watches shows as they’re airing live anyway? Wouldn’t the perfect Monday night be: Supergirl at 7, Jane the Virgin at 8, and iZombie at 9? I’d watch the *bleep* outta that! (except I’d just watch the *bleep* out of it on hulu the next day, which is probably the cw execs’ problem with that lol).
Yeah, I definitely think hulu, netflix and other streaming sites, aren’t doing much good for ratings.
I think what sucks most about the shows now coming back until mid-season is that we’re getting shorter seasons for those shows. I know how upset Rob Thomas, Diane and the rest of the iZombie cast was about only getting 19/22 episodes last season. Does this mean they only get 13 for season 3? 🙁
They need to start figuring out a way to count the numbers on streaming sites, to count that towards overall viewership. I know they’ve started to figure out DVR numbers, but we need moar! They’re just scared because it forces them to figure out a new model for paying things. But like, make me go directly to your website to watch it and see your ads: I’d do that, and surely the advertising companies will count that as commercials we’re watching?
I also don’t get it: if something is going to debut midseason, why not let it go farther into the summer? Most of the time they just air reruns and stuff during the summer anyway, so why can’t a midseason show play until June or July?
