While some dates are still being set, we already know when most of the CW’s new programming for the year (like Javicia Leslie‘s Batwoman debut and the beginning of Black Lightning‘s final season), as well as Fox’s returning dramas (like the 9-1-1s and Prodigal Son), will be premiering. Plus, find out when you’ll meet Matt James as the new Bachelor lead and when a Fox hit will start dancing.
