The CW handed out early renewals to 'All American,’ ‘The Flash,' ‘Kung Fu,’ ‘Nancy Drew,’ ‘Riverdale,’ ‘Superman & Lois’ and ‘Walker’
and first-year showsThe CW was expected to issue a handful of renewals to its best-performing shows as were all considered a lock to return. The early pickups forwere a bit more of a surprise as both shows were considered to be on the bubble. Their early pickups illustrate a vote of confidence in their respective linear and digital performance.
“As we prepare for the 2022-23 season, these scripted series, along with the alternative series we renewed earlier, will serve as the start of a solid foundation utilizing some of our most-watched series for us to build on for next year and beyond,” said Pedowitz.
In the past few years, Pedowitz has renewed nearly all of The CW’s scripted roster as he’s worked diligently to usher the younger-skewing network into year-round originals. That changed this year as The CW corporate backers CBS Studios and WarnerMedia’s Warner Bros. TV look to divest the network from their respective portfolios.
The CW was previously driven by revenue earned from the $1 billion Netflix deal that saw all of the network’s scripted series stream on the service. The CW opted to not renew that deal as Warners and Paramount wanted to stream their originals on their respective platforms, HBO Max and Paramount+. International revenue as well has largely vanished as those rights, rather than being sold off abroad and contributing millions to their respective studios, are now also being kept in house.
