News of renewals don’t normally come this early, and they certainly don’t usually come in large batches but the CW has broken both rules, announcing today that all eight of its drama series will be returning next season.
The Flash and Jane the Virgin will be back for a second season as well as The Originals (Season 3), Reign (Season 3), The 100 (Season 3), Arrow (Season 4) and long running stalwarts The Vampire Diaries (Season 7) and Supernatural (Season 11).
“Each of these series have helped define what The CW is today, a network that is home to smart, provocative, quality programming, targeting a savvy adult audience,” CW president Mark Pedowitz explained. “By picking up these shows now, our executive producers can start planning next season’s storylines, and rolling these shows out throughout next season guarantees The CW will have more proven original series for our fall, midseason and summer 2016 line-ups.”
This does not seem to include Beauty and the Beast – which is not mentioned in the CW release either way, even if they talk about “all” the shows.
