The CW Upfronts

It’s another year of upheaval at The CW, as new owners Nexstar continues to cut new fiction programming in favor of re-airing existing content from other markets and live sports (or “sports”).  Monday has an all-new look, with two hours of game shows based on board games.  Trivial Pursuit, hosted by LeVar Burton, kicks off the night, followed by Scrabble, hosted by Raven-Symoné.  Tuesday’s programming is devoted to the network debut of WWE NXT.

The Canadian production Sullivan’s Crossing returns for its second season to kick off Wednesday nights, followed by Joan, an import from the UK starring Sophie Turner as a notorious jewel thief and which only runs six episodes.   Thursday’s start with the fourth and final season of Superman & Lois, followed by The Librarians: The Next Chapter, centering on a librarian from the past who finds himself stuck in the present.  Friday will have back-to-back episodes of Whose Line Is It Anyway? followed by season two of Inside the NFL.  Saturday and Sunday will feature sports and/or movies.

Waiting in the wings for midseason are Good Cop/Bad Cop, a dramedy about a brother and sister detective team starring Leighton Meester, and Sherlock & Daughter, where the famous detective is forced to team up with an American girl who may be his daughter.  All American: Homecoming is expected to return next summer.

The fates of All American, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Sight Unseen, Walker, and Wild Cards are undecided at this point.  Gone and probably forgotten are FBoy Island and its female-skewing spinoff, Lovers and Liars.

The CW Upfronts

It’s another year of change at The CW, which was sold to Nexstar and is cutting programming costs in a bid for more profitability.  Monday starts off with All American, the only returning scripted show, followed by 61st Street., starring Courtney B. Vance and previously airing on AMC.  Tuesday is all “new” comedy night, with three imported Canadian series, Son of a Critch, Run the Burbs, and Children Ruin Everything, followed by Everyone Else Burns, a British comedy.

Canada provides more content for Wednesday night, with Sullivan’s Crossing, starring Chad Michael Murray, followed by The Spencer Sisters, starring Lea Thompson.  Thursdays goes all-reality, with two episodes of the Nikki Glaser-helmed FBoy Island, recently dumped by HBO Max.  Friday remains the same, with Penn & Teller: Fool Us followed by an hour of Whose Line Is It Anyway?  Saturday goes back-to-back with two episodes each of Masters of Illusion and World’s Funniest Animals.  The Sunday night offering is I Am, a collection of documentary features.

Waiting in the wings for midseason are the fourth season of Walker and FGirl Island, which, ok.  Whatever.

Lost to the sands of time are DC’s Stargirl, The Flash, Kung Fu, Nancy Drew, Riverdale, Walker Independence, and The Winchesters.  The fates of Superman & Lois and Gotham Knights are undecided at this point.
