I’m sure the thought of Fall TV doesn’t stress you out quite like it does for me, but at least The CW has the decency to let its shows premiere in October to space things out a bit. If you kept up with the network’s Upfront presentation (that being a presentation that happens over the course of a special week in May where TV networks try and woo ad buyers, and viewers get a ton of new info about upcoming shows), you’ll know that there are a few schedule changes to make room for new showsValorandDynasty. As concerns the CW’s DC universe though, the biggest change is thatArrowwill be moving to Thursday nights at 9 p.m.
For, well,ever, the CW’s DC shows have aired at 8 p.m. across the weekdays, withThe Flash(the network’s highest-rated show in terms of viewership numbers) anchoring Tuesdays andArrowanchoring Wednesdays. No longer!Supergirlwill remain on Mondays (followed by new seriesValor), andLegends of Tomorrowwill again be paired withThe Flashon Tuesdays, but Wednesday will now play host to the soapy dramasRiverdaleand the newDynasty. On Thursday, and in a shock to everyone,Supernaturalwill be the lead-in forArrow– not the other way around. Quelle surprise! Fridays,Crazy Ex-Girlfriendwill reunite withJane the Virgin(the two used to be together on Mondays in the pre-Supergirlera).
All of these shows will be back during one major premiere week that will kick off October 4th and 6th with the iHeartRadio Music Festival, before leading into the premiere ofSupergirlMonday, October 9th.
