The CW Renews All 7 Returning Fall Series - Upfront

January 8, 2017


The CW Network once again is giving an early renewal for next season to the bulk of its lineup with pickups for 7 fall series, the four DC shows, "Arrow" (Season 6), "The Flash" (Season 4), "DC’s Legends of Tomorrow" (Season 3) and transplant "Supergirl" (Season 3); as well as veteran "Supernatural", which just keeps going with a Season 13 renewal.

Also picked up for next season are praised comedies "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" (Season 3) and "Jane the Virgin" (Season 4), which have brought The CW its first major awards recognition. (The show’s Golden Globe-winning stars Rachel Bloom and Gina Rodriguez are once again nominated at the Globes tonight.)

There are no episode order sizes set for any of the shows. Those calls will be made in May when The CW brass set the network’s fall schedule.

In additional "Supergirl" news, "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" alum Peter Gadiot has landed the role of the nefarious Mr. Mxyzptlk on Supergirl, a rep for The CW confirms for TVLine.

In DC Comics lore, Mr. Mxyzptlk is an impish, reality-bending trickster from the 5th Dimension who is best known for tormenting Superman and who can be “sent home” only by tricking him into saying/spelling his own name backwards.

There is no word yet on how the character will figure into Kara’s world, or if he’ll be sporting that fetch hat.
