The CW Gives Full Orders to 'Batwoman' & 'Nancy Drew'

The CW sure does love itself some redheads.

In addition to the glory that is Riverdale's Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch), the network's other fabulous, flame-haired femmes — Nancy Drew and Batwoman — have just been given the go ahead to have fun for the rest of the season.

In a statement released this afternoon, The CW's president, Mark Pedowitz, confirmed that both freshman shows had been picked up for the coveted "back nine," which brings each drama's order to 22 episodes.
