Arrow Spin-off is a Possibility After Season 7 Ends
The CW President Mark Pedowitz mentioned recently that The CW is looking at another title set in the Arrow‘s universe, that it is a “possibility” but that another DC property is being prioritized.
The CW Gains Expanded In-season Streaming Rights
The CW has gained expanded in-season streaming rights for its original programming starting with Nancy Drew, Katy Keene, and Batwoman.
following the decision by the CW parents Warner Bros. TV and CBS TV Studios not to renew the Netflix pact, the CW Network and its digital platforms are getting exclusive, full in-season rights and will be the exclusive streaming home for the full current seasons of each of its new series going forward…
Beginning with the 2019-2020 season, The CW will exclusively stream every episode of its new series the day after broadcast throughout the season on CWTV.com and The CW app.
Under the pacts Warner Bros. TV made for complete seasons of Batwoman and Katy Keene to run on sibling HBO Max and CBS TV Studios made for past seasons of Nancy Drew to be carried by CBS All Access, they will get those seasons 30 days before the start of the next season. That means that after the season finale of each new show, the full season will be available to binge on The CW’s digital platforms until 30 days prior to the the next season premiere vs. the most recent 5 episodes eight days after the previous season’s finale for the existing shows.
Once inside the 30-day window, the CW will have the ability to stream any 5 episodes from the previous season of the three shows on its streaming platforms until the following season’s episodes become available. As the new season kicks in and new episodes of the shows start to air, the five episodes from the previous season will gradually get replaced one by one with episodes from the current season until the CW digital platforms – CWTV.com and The CW app — start “stacking” the new season. Both services are free, with no subscription, login or authentication required, and fully ad supported.
