The CW Gives Early Renewals To Seven Shows
The CW made a surprise announcement this morning: they’ve already given seven of their shows a renewal for the 2017-2018 season. If you had to guess, you could easily predict five of them: every superhero series (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow) and the uncancellable Supernatural (now up for a thirteenth season). The other two are Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, two critical darlings that earn anemic ratings yet perform much better on streaming services like Netflix. Those two shows also boast very strong, rabid fanbases; the kind that were poised to launch a rescue campaign if the word hadn’t come so soon. Missing from this list is any series that hasn’t aired its upcoming season yet….iZombie, The 100, The Originals and Reign. Though we hear Reign’s next season will be its last, it’s up to season 4. The CW hasn’t cancelled a show after Season 3 since Veronica Mars, which I’m sure they regretted later. If you can’t tell, I love iZombie and I want to remain
