The CW Network has announced its 2018-19 primetime schedule, expanding to a six-night, Sunday-Friday schedule with 12 hours of original scripted series across the week in primetime this fall!
“It is such an exciting time at The CW. We are thriving, innovating, and now we’re expanding, adding Sunday nights to our primetime lineup this fall. Starting in October, we will have 12 hours of original scripted series on our schedule – more than any other broadcast network besides CBS,” said Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW.
“And we have five bold, brash new shows for 2018-19: in the fall, a new version of the beloved fan favorite series CHARMED; the inspiring drama ALL AMERICAN; and LEGACIES, set in the world of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ and ‘The Originals’; and for midseason, the unique new drama IN THE DARK; and the epic romance ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO. The CW is bigger, and better than ever before, with more quality content and more ways for advertisers to connect with our valuable young audience, on every platform.”
The CW’s new Sunday night kicks off the week with a one-two punch of empowered and powerful women, with Supergirl soaring over to a new night (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT), followed by the magical all new Charmed (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT), with new faces as the Charmed Ones, but the same heart and humor as the beloved original.
Mondays are action-packed, as DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT), followed by Arrow shooting over to a new night (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT).
The CW’s highest-rated night remains the same next season, with The Flash back on Tuesday (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT) followed by the electrifying new hit Black Lightning (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT).
