The CW is the final major network to reveal its schedule for the 2017-2018 TV season, and things are pretty simple. The network has 15 shows, 11 returning and four new ones, 10 of which will premiere in the Fall.
CBS’ New Fall 2017 Schedule>>>
ABC’s Fall 2017 Schedule>>>
FOX’s Fall 2017 Schedule>>>
NBC’s Fall 2017 Schedule>>>
The big trend this year has been moving big, established shows to Thursday nights. NBC did it with This Is Us, FOX did it with Gotham and now the CW is doing it by moving Arrow to Thursdays at 9pm for the Fall.
Riverdale will take over Arrow‘s old time slot on Wednesdays at 9pm, leading into the reboot of Dynasty for a night of tense, soap opera-style drama.
Supernatural Meets Scooby Doo with Animated Episode in Season 13>>>
The only other big change to the schedule is that Jane the Virgin is being moved to Friday nights to join Crazy Ex-Girlfriend for a cohesive night of dramedy. The new military drama Valor will take over on Mondays, joining Supergirl.
At mid-season, the CW will have The 100, The Originals, iZombie plus two new shows, including the superhero drama Black Lightning.
