The CW network has given the viewers primetime entertainment value like none other. Only a few could match the network’s mammoth TRP ratings in term of their own shows’ Popularity. AMC and SyFy are the only two channels that have envy chance of competing against The CW in terms of TRP ratings. The rest of the channels have been relegated to secondary status. The CW is the current king of the small screen entertainment and is second to none when it comes to fan following.
The CW has given us the one thing that the other channels envy the most – The Arrowverse. All four shows that make up this shared superhero universe are TRP juggernauts and rake in massive views and clicks whenever and wherever they air. The Arrow, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Super Girl are all popular superhero shows and, more or less, the face of The CW network. Another Superhero is about to join the network. Although The CW claims Black Lightning won’t be a part of the Arrowverse, fans are ecstatic to watch another superhero in their favorite channel kicking ass and saving the day.
But The CW is not just known for its superheroes. It has a shitload of shows that govern and absolutely rule the supernatural, horror and mystery genre. Supernatural – the show about the life and exploits of the Hunter duo, Sam, and Dean Winchester is also one hell of a popular show. It has already spanned 11 seasons and is going strong on its 12th. iZombie is also another popular show that has completed three seasons and filming for a fourth is currently underway.
Riverdale was one of The CW’s sleeper hits last year. The mystery-drama spin-off from the Archie comic strips has wrapped the internet around its pinky. Archie comics were famous for exploring the supernatural and paranormal. The show dumped all those elements and took a bold move. They made Riverdale into a high school crime thriller with a whodunit murder-suspense element. The Gamble paid off and the fans just couldn’t get enough of it. Riverdale is one of The CW’s last year’s greatest hits.
Let us have a look at the timetable for The CW’s shows returns to prime time entertainment:
The Arrowverse wrapped up with its Christmas episodes and fans are eagerly waiting for the next installments to their favorite superhero shows.
The Arrow is set to return on January 17th with ‘Divided’ and will deal with the sudden split within Team Arrow. The Official synopsis reads:
OLIVER DISCOVERS A SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT CAYDEN JAMES — Despite losing half his team, Oliver (Stephen Amell) remains confident that he, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (David Ramsey) can stop Cayden James (guest star Michael Emerson) and Black Siren (Katie Cassidy). However, when he discovers one of Cayden’s secrets, he decides to team up with an unlikely ally. Meanwhile, Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) spends time with Vince (guest star Johann Urb).
The Flash will return on January 16th with ‘The Trial of the Flash.’ The Synopsis for the next episode is:
