“This season, we expanded our primetime schedule to six nights with the addition of Sunday—which has been an unqualified success for the network, our affiliates and our advertisers,” he said in a pre-session release of the Supergirl–Charmed pairing.

“In addition to growing our schedule across the week, we also continue to add more year-round programming. The early renewal of these signature CW series gives us a head start on laying out the 2019-2020 season, and this is just the beginning” continues Pedowitz. “These shows provide a strong foundation for our multi-platform programming strategy and we look forward to building on this with even more returning and new shows as we approach the May upfront.”

Making the cut so far are…

In addition to this massive batch, the network has pilot orders for Batwoman, Riverdale and Jane the Virgin spinoffs, an updated take on Nancy Drew and The Lost Boys.

      The CW doesn't depend on TV ratings to make money off the shows.

      Ok - what do they depend on to make $$??

      The CW app, Netflix, Blu-Ray sales, Amazon, overseas programming. Overseas the shows are on Netflix the same day they are broadcast in the US. You have to remember Warner Bros. owns the shows and co-owns the CW with CBS so all the money flows back to Warner Bros.

    I'm glad Supergirl, The Flash, and Charmed were renewed. Hopefully they'll renew Roswell, NM too.

      Either they updated it after you posted, or you missed it, but under the flash "Season 8 of Arrow". Of course there should be wayward sisters and not this legacies crap, but apparently us CW geeks can't get everything...

      It's in the list now. Wasn't it earlier?

      Nope. When I read this article earlier the list went from The Flash to Supernatural.
