It’s almost March and at this point only CBS has given early renewals to a handful of shows. The CW has only renewed one show, All American. ABC just announced that The Goldbergs current season will be its final season. It is currently in season 10. What shows have a shot of getting renewed? This will be a multi part post. The focus today will be The CW.

The CW

The CW does not have many shows left. The Flash, Riverdale, and Nancy Drew are all ending this year. Riverdale and Nancy Drew will be premiering in the coming months. The CW also axed a huge chunk of their shows last year. It was also announced Whose Line is it Anyway? would be ending this year as well. The CW has three new shows this season. The Winchesters and Walker: Independence which will be airing their season finales soon. Gotham Knights will be premiering on March 14^th. Superman & Lois has a good a shot at getting renewed. James Gunn said he could see the show go for one to two more seasons. If that is the case, Superman & Lois would last up to season 5.

All American

Renewed for season 6. This could end up being the final season if the CW does not want to keep it going beyond a sixth year. Also, it will achieve one hundred episodes by the end of next season as well.

Superman & Lois

Season 3 premiers on March 14^th. Has a good shot at lasting one to two more seasons which would also allow this to have a proper final season unlike Batwoman & DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

All American: Homecoming

Currently in Season 2. Since All American was renewed, this has a good shot at being renewed for season 3, given it’s a spin-off. It is also possible season 3 could end up being the end if the CW is looking to end All American next season.

The Winchesters

Currently in its first season. The season finale is set to air on March 7^th. This has a decent shot of getting renewed. Fans were concerned when The Winchesters did not get a full season pickup. All the freshman shows did not get full season pickups. I think the CW will wait to see how The Winchesters does once it hits streaming. Streaming is what helped All American and Riverdale.

Kung Fu

Currently in season 3. It has a decent shot of getting renewed. If anything, it should be allowed to have a proper final season. Hopefully it will be able to continue for a few more years.

Walker

Currently in season 3. It has a decent shot of getting renewed. It really will depend on if the CW wants to continue with the Walker World.

Walker Independence

Currently in season 1. Like The Winchesters, this did not get a full season pickup. Both shows are ending with thirteen episode seasons. This is a spin-off of Walker. It has a decent shot at getting renewed. It is going to come down to if the CW wants to continue this franchise or if they want to move on.

Gotham Knights

Its series premiere will be on March 14^th. It has a decent shot of getting renewed but if it were to come down to this or Superman & Lois, I think the CW may lean toward Superman & Lois. With the Flash ending, the Arrowverse will be coming to a close. Given plans for the DCU, which consist of one cohesive world across various mediums, this may not go beyond a first season. James Gunn has not said anything about Gotham Knights. This may come down to a decision by the CW without any input from James Gunn and Peter Safran.

All American is the only show renewed for season 6. I would not be surprised if they announce that season 6 will be All American’s final season. It seems some of the shows were given a proper final season even in the midst of the bloodbath last year. I am referring to The Flash, Riverdale, and Nancy Drew which are all ending. The CW could renew some of these shows for one more farewell season. All American has been successful for the network. It would make sense if they wanted to give it a proper sendoff instead of a last minute announcement that it is ending forcing the writers to change the plans to craft an series ending. The reason the network has had a mass exodus of shows is because of the purchase by Nextstar. Nextstar seems more interested in focusing on sports which would explain killing off so many shows. It is not known how much scripted programming they want to retain or if the goal is to eventually get rid of all scripted programming. Answers will be revealed sooner than later.
