The CW appears set for a big rebrand underneath the attention of recent possession.
Nexstar took management of the community earlier this 12 months, and it sounds just like the remaining scripted originals are in peril.
The community canceled many exhibits earlier this 12 months, together with Legacies, Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, and plenty of extra.
Again in Could, it was revealed that The Flash and Riverdale would each be ending in 2023.
Extra lately, Stargirl was canceled after three seasons, and Nancy Drew after its upcoming fourth season.
All American, All American: Homecoming, Kung Fu, Walker, Walker Independence, The Winchesters, Superman & Lois, and Gotham Knights are the one exhibits on the community to not know whether or not they’ll have a future when the massive adjustments arrive.
The community shocked many when it revealed that The Winchesters and Walker: Independence wouldn’t be getting again orders, regardless of robust (by CW requirements) numbers.
The transfer casts a darkish cloud over each exhibits, however we in all probability will not get readability on the state of affairs for one more few months.

“We could have some carryover dedication for the CBS (Paramount) and the WBD (Warner Bros. Discovery) programming in that 12 months,” Gliha added, “nevertheless it’s minimal at that time.”
That does not sound good for any of the exhibits, nevertheless it’s onerous to rule out the community canceling all the pieces at this level.
Nexstar needs to make The CW a worthwhile broadcast community by 2025, which is able to possible contain cheaper programming.
The community has been working at a loss for its complete existence as a result of it was basically used as a content material farm for Warner Bros. Discovery and Viacom exhibits that might earn cash with streaming offers and worldwide gross sales.
