The CW has given an early renewal to the bulk of its lineup, picking up all returning series on its fall schedule for the 2018-19 season.

“As The CW expands to a six-night, Sunday-through-Friday schedule next season, we are proud to have such a deep bench of great returning series for 2018-19. By picking these ten series up for next season, we have a terrific selection of programming to choose from when we set our fall schedule in May, with more still to come,” said The CW president Mark Pedowitz.

“And I’m especially happy that we’ll continue to work with the incredibly talented casts, producers, and writers who create the series our fans are so passionate about.”



Praised comedies "Jane the Virgin" (Season 5) and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" (Season 4) were renewed for what could be the duo’s final seasons.

There’s a bit of sad news attached to "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘s" just-announced renewal: Star/co-creator Rachel Bloom says the upcoming fourth season will be the show’s last.

Bloom referred to Season 4 of The CW’s musical rom-com as the “final” season in a tweet on Monday celebrating the renewal: "Just turned on my wifi on our flight to Chicago and found out that #CrazyExGirlfriend has been renewed for a final season."

The network has not confirmed that this will be its final season, but Bloom and co-creator Aline Brosh McKenna have said all along they had a four-season plan for the series.

It’s official. The CW’s comedies "Jane the Virgin" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" will end after their upcoming fifth and fourth seasons, respectively.

Additionally, the network revealed this season that the upcoming fifth season of comedic drama "iZombie" also will be its last, making for string of farewells on The CW next season. It will start with "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", which is on the fall schedule, and continue in midseason with "Jane the Virgin" and "iZombie".

The announcement is not a surprise as "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" star/co-creator Rachel Bloom tweeted after its pickup, “Just found out that #CrazyExGirlfriend has been renewed for a final season.”
