The CW is continuing to kick-ass with renewals. The youth-skewing broadcaster has picked up freshman series "Kung Fu" for a second season and handed a third season of "DC’s Stargirl" ahead of its sophomore debut.
This comes as the network continues to look for stability in its scripted lineup – bringing the number of renewals for the 2021-22 season to 15 with only "The Republic of Sarah", which launches in June, still pending.
The renewal of "Kung Fu" is not a surprise.
The drama kicked off strong with more than 3.5M viewers watching the premiere episode and it had the highest total viewership number for a Wednesday debut in 7 years since "The 100" debuted in 2014.
