WINTER PREMIERES: The CW Pushes Return of Its Shows THE FLASH, RIVERDALE, BATWOMAN ,& More to January 2021

 The CW

The CW is pushing its traditional Fall launch to the Winter of 2021 because of ongoing production shutdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

We are going with this strategy to give producers and studios ample time to get back up and running in the best and safest way possible. Strategy and protocols are still being developed.

What other broadcasters do is up to them. For The CW, this is right for us. — CW’s  Mark Pedowitz.

New seasons of The Flash, Riverdale, Batwoman, Charmed, Nancy Drew and others are expected to premiere in January plus new shows Superman & Lois and Walker.

The Flash will be paired with new show Superman & Lois on Tuesday nights.

Riverdale and Nancy Drew are back together on Wednesday nights.

And Batwoman will be paired with Charmed on Sunday nights.

Supergirl is not in the Winter lineup –likely to accommodate star Melissa Benoist’s pregnancy and maternity leave — and may have a shortened order in season 6?

Supergirl joins other returning series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,  Roswell, New Mexico, Dynasty and In the Dark as well as new series Kung Fu and The Republic of Sarah which will launch mid-season — sometime in the Spring (April/May).

Kung Fu.

The CW’s full season will stretch to the summer (July/August) and shows are expected to air their regular number of episodes from 13 to 23  plus whatever episodes from the current season they were unable to complete because of the mid-March production shutdown.

After a short break, The CW’s 2021-22 season will launch in October, as usual.
