The CW Gives Early Renewals to 12 Shows for New Seasons

The CW has announced that 12 shows have been handed early renewal orders!

Jared Padalecki‘s new series Walker, which had one of the network’s biggest premieres in years, has been picked up for a second season.

Walker and the upcoming series Superman & Lois have been given orders for five additional episodes for season one, bringing Walker to 18 episodes for season one and Superman & Lois to 15 episodes for the first season.

11 other shows have also been given additional seasons!

“Though we’re just a few weeks into the new season, we wanted to get a strategic head start on next season with these early renewals, which allows our production teams to start laying out story arcs and hiring staff, and at the same time, continues to provide us with a strong, stable schedule to build on for next season,” the network’s CEO Mark Pedowitz said in a statement (via Variety).

He continued, “As The CW’s 2020-2021 season kicks into high gear, we are thrilled creatively with the direction of our first new shows out of the gate, Walker and Superman & Lois, that we wanted to order the additional episodes to complete their first seasons, and we are particularly pleased with the huge success of the launch of Walker, which debuted as our most watched series premiere in 5 years.”
