The CW has announced a flurry of renewals. Three of the network’s freshman shows, All American, Roswell, New Mexico and In The Dark, will return for second seasons, as well as The 100, which gets a seventh outing. This means that all five of The CW’s first-year shows, including the previously-renewed Legacies and Charmed, have been picked up for a sophomore run, a first for the network.
The sixth season of The 100 is set to premiere on April 30, and will see the characters descending to a new planet after being frozen in stasis pods on a spaceship for decades, after escaping an uninhabitable Earth.
The 100, originally inspired by the young adult novels by Kass Morgan, is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios with executive producers Jason Rothenberg and Leslie Morgenstein. It stars Eliza Taylor, Paige Turco, Bob Morley, Marie Avgeropoulos, Lindsey Morgan, Richard Harmon, Shannon Kook, JR Bourne and Tasya Teles.
Season 5 of the show averaged a 0.30 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and just under 1 million total viewers per episode.
Roswell, New Mexico is the second adaptation of the “Roswell High” book series by Melinda Metz and centers around Liz Ortecho (Jeanine Mason), who reluctantly returns to her tourist-trap hometown to move back in with her father, and discovers otherworldly secrets along the way.
In The Dark, a one-hour drama centered on a blind woman (played by Perry Mattfeld) who is a “hard-living, hard-drinking, disaffected 20-something with a penchant for cigarettes and casual sex,” hails from CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television, in association with Red Hour Films.
The high school football drama All American is based on the life of real-life pro football player Spencer Paysinger (who also served as executive producer) and was created by April Blair. Blair stepped down as showrunner just ahead of the series premiere in Oct. 2018, and Nkechi Okoro Carroll was promoted into the role.
The show centers on the character of Spencer James (played by Daniel Ezra), who is a rising high school football player at Compton’s South Crenshaw High recruited by Beverly High football coach Billy Baker (Taye Diggs). In addition to Ezra and Diggs, the show stars Samantha Logan, Bre-Z, Greta Onieogou, Monet Mazur, Michael Evans Behling, Cody Christian, Karimah Westbrook and Jalyn Hall.
The CW previously gave early renewals to Supernatural, whose upcoming 15th season will be its last, Riverdale, Legacies, Charmed, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning, Dynasty and Arrow, which is also ending after its next, shortened season.
