CW Announces 2020-2021 Plans

Would like to thank the admin for keeping us up to date on Supergirl things, as without her, all the other sites wouldn't happen.

I understand the reason for the delay on SG, but well not a lot of people are watching TV in a typical summer...but believe me this year is anything but typical.

Hear hear!

I understand the reason for the delay on SG, but well not a lot of people are watching TV in a typical summer...but believe me this year is anything but typical.

Expectations for lower broadcast ratings are likely baked into the decision. Realisticly, all the shows are probably going to take a hit. Another reason to be happy for streaming deals.

Well, for on demand like my cable service, Altice...they got rid of The CW. Of course there is the CW website.

Well this is a shocker Ruby Rose is not returning as Batwoman, the role will be recast. I wonder if TPTB knew this last week. Will CW alter their planned schedule because of this. I realize the network would like to start filming their "fall" shows ASAP but I'm not sure how much casting is being done right now considering LA will have stricter than the rest of California orders at least through August, I suppose they could go with someone who auditioned before. Given that Batwoman might now not be ready to go as previously planned I wonder if this will alter the network's plan. They could move say LoT up and put Batwoman and Supergirl together "midseason" which would allow the crossover to be Supergirl/Batwoman. Of course I would love Supergirl moved up to "fall" but I realize part of the reason it wasn't is to allow Melissa as much time as possible. With so much unknown and out of control we'll have to see how things play out.

Yeah. The entirity of next season seems to be a giant question mark, right now.

I'm not worried about them casting while LA is shut down, though. Superman & Lois has gone on, casting new characters, during this time. Virtual and taped auditions are becoming more and more normal.

But yeah...the chemistry with Melissa, and with Batwoman's own cast...all for naught. I wasn't Ruby's biggest fan, but knowing that chemistry was there improved things. They can put a positive spin on this, all they want, but this is a big blow to Batwoman, as well as to the production company, who already had a season order placed.

Pretty awesome that the only 2 shows (The Flash and Superman & Lois) I'll watch out of all the shows listed in that schedule are on the same night. I look forward in 2021 to an entertaining night of watching my 2 favourite male superheroes back to back.

Hope not, I'm certainly ready for a break from crossovers, don't even know if the Superman/Batwoman crossover will be allowed next year as the shows might have to stay within their own bubbles. I for one though don't want Melissa spending any of her time next year filming an episode of another TV show (Batwoman in this case), just keep to her own show.

It looks like Supergirl will be a part of it.

This sounds cool. Supergirl fans keep in mind that by August 22nd Melissa may have a newborn and might not be able to participate in even a virtual event. I can see a scenario where she intends to participate then has to drop out at the last minute. Maybe she can prerecorded something now in case that happens. Hopefully the rest of the cast and EPs will give us some information on the plans for next season.
