Also being renewed are All American, Black Lightning, Charmed, DC’S Legends of Tomorrow, Dynasty, The Flash, In the Dark, Legacies, Riverdale, Supergirl and Roswell, New Mexico. The CW renewed In the Dark, Roswell, and Legends of Tomorrow before their current seasons premiered; they are still in production.

Early renewal allows for the network to receive finished scripts before a possible writer’s strike could happen.

“These early orders for next season give our production teams a head start in plotting out story arcs and a jump on hiring staff, and this also provides us with a strong foundation of established, fan-favorite CW shows to build on for next season,” said CW President Mark Pedowitz.

“We’ve been thrilled with the creative direction of all three new series, and even though we are in the very early stages of our new full stack streaming strategy, which allows viewers to catch up on our new shows from the beginning, we’re already seeing incredibly positive results from our multiplatform viewership for Nancy Drew and Batwoman,” Pedowitz continued.

During the spring, the network ordered full seasons for Batwoman, Nancy Drew, and Katy Keene.

Premiere dates for the first two series have now been announced for the first two weeks of October.

Ruby Rose’s incarnation of Batwoman will hit screens on October 6th. The cousin of Bruce Wayne attempts to save Gotham three years after Batman disappears and must do so while battling her own inner demons, which include a complicated family and feelings for her ex-girlfriend.

The remake of Nancy Drew will arrive three days later. The team behind Gossip Girl — Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage — are producing the series, which stars Kennedy McCann as the titular character. The first season will revolve around the murder of a local socialite, with Nancy as one of the prime suspects.

The date for the Riverdale spin-off, Katy Keene, has not yet been announced. It is set to star Lucy Hale as one of four friends who venture to New York City to follow their dreams.

Fans of Rose and the iconic DC Comics superhero were treated to a first look image of the actress as Batwoman. 

The CW and producers Warner Bros. TV unveiled the first image of Rose clad in the iconic black-and-white caped catsuit complete with Kate Kane’s signature red locks and of course the bat insignia emblazoned on her chest. In charge of costume design is award-winning designer Colleen Atwood (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl). 

The superhero will make her first appearance in the DC crossover event this December. The standalone feature is produced by Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schecter. The official logline for Batwoman reads:

“Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”

As the first out actress to star as the first gay lead superhero, Ross suffered social media backlash to her casting. After celebrating her new role in August, writing on Instagram, “The Bat is out of the bag and I am beyond thrilled and honored. I’m also an emotional wreck.. because this is a childhood dream. This is something I would have died to have seen on TV when I was a young member of the LGBT community who never felt represented on TV and felt alone and different,” the actress quit social media. 

The three-night DC crossover event kicks off Sunday, December 9.
