The CW Sets Premiere Dates for ‘The Flash,’ ‘Riverdale,’ ‘Batwoman’ and 7 More Dramas

The CW has set premiere dates for 10 original scripted dramas, all of which will begin rolling out January 2021.

With the fall season delayed due to the pandemic (it typically kicks off in October), the network has tapped Batwoman, featuring Gotham’s new caped crusader Javicia Leslie, to kick-start the season 2 on Sunday, Jan. 17. The third season of the Charmed reboot will follow, with a new season starting Sunday, Jan. 24.

The football drama All American returns for season 3 on Monday, Jan. 18, which will be followed by a new season of Black Lightning beginning Feb. 8. Season 5 of Riverdale begins Wednesday, Jan. 20, followed by the season 2 return of Nancy Drew.

Jared Padalecki takes a brief break on The CW following Supernatural‘s swan song on Nov. 19 with the series debut of his Walker, Texas Ranger reimagining, Walker, on Thursday, Jan. 21. The Vampire Diaries and Originals spinoff, Legacies, follows.

It will be a longer wait than usual for The Flash‘s return, which launches season 7 on Tuesday, Feb. 23. New series Superman & Lois will lead out of the series.
