The CW Boss Mark Pedowitz On Launching New Season In January, Stacked Summer & Fall 2021 Plans https://t.co/kjc3mqmO7m

-With TheCW shows finally making their return to the airways, Mark Pedowitz is having to make calculated decisions about the networks future.
-He states "I’d rather have a known quantity on the air than an unknown quantity" not to mention that since 99% of its lineup is just starting, they will need ample time to start planning new seasons while COVID is still around.
-While DC Universes 'Swamp Thing' had strong streaming numbers for TheCW, he has no interest in reviving the show for a 2nd season as he rather put time into Painkiller, Wondergirl, and Naomi. Though he wouldnt mind if Swamp Thing guest starred on Legends of Tomorrow.
-Green Arrow and the Canaries future laid upon HBO Max picking it up and allowing TheCW to take it over for a 2nd season, similar to Stargirl. Since HBO Max was not interested, TheCW passed.
-Black Lightning and Supergirl will also be coming to an end this season as the network appears to be wanting to gear towards younger heroes given their interest in a Painkiller spin off.

-Batwomans 2nd season kicked off last night and pulled in 663,000 viewers and a 0.1 rating. S1 averaged 995K/0.26 in viewers while the finale drew 740K/0.2.
-Since Batwoman is the first CW show back from its hiatus this year only time will tell how its ratings will stack up against the rest of the CW lineup
BREAKING: Superman and Lois will now have a 2-hour premiere on February 23. #SupermanAndLois #Batwoman

-Due to COVID shutting down The Flash production for 2 weeks, TheCW has decided to push season premiere back 1 week
-Since The Flash is pushed back, TheCW has decided to give Superman & Lois a 2hr season premiere.
-It is believed that the premiere wasnt set up to be supersized so it will just be a combination of the first two episodes.
-Will be the first 2hr premiere within the last decade on TheCW

-A couple weeks ago, TheCW put out a poster that drew criticsm from not only fans but a Charmed One as well, read more about it here
-They have since then released a new poster that focuses on the sisters sans Harry and everyone being of "equal" height this time.
-Of course all promotional material from the show is left over from Season 1 since TheCW is cheap and doesnt like to do new photoshoots if it can bypass them.
