Looks like they managed to do it: The CW got its factory running again, despite the restrictions and precautions laid down by COVID-19. So how soon could we be seeing the tights-wearing heroes of the Berlantiverse return, along with everyone else? The answer varies.
It appears some productions are more ready to go than others. Batwoman will be the first entry out of the gate on January 17, which is surprising, as we know they had to restructure everything and hire a new hero after the departure of Ruby Rose. The Flash won’t show until late February, despite having its season premiere mostly in the can (it’s the intended season finale from last time, which needed a few more shots to be completed).
More shows are missing than not. MIA from the below list are Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, In the Dark, Roswell New Mexico and Dynasty, plus the new series Kung Fu and The Republic of Sarah. One new series, Jared Padalecki’s Walker, managed to make it on time. We’re not sure how The CW will balance all this out, but by our guess, this season could very well stretch into the summer.
