The CW is preparing for fall and has announced its schedule for the Fall portion of the upcoming 2023-24 broadcast television year. There are more first-season shows than ever before filling the seven night timeslots.
Returning shows for fall include All American (season six), Masters of Illusion (season 13, aka the 10th on CW), Penn & Teller: Fool Us (season 10), Whose Line Is It Anyway? (season 20 aka, the 12th on CW), and World’s Funniest Animals (season four).
“New” fall shows (most of the episodes have already aired elsewhere) include 61st Street (season one, aired on AMC), Children Ruin Everything (season one, previously seen on Roku Channel), Everyone Else Burns (season one, Channel 4 in the UK), FBoy Island (season three, formerly an HBO Max show), I Am (season one), Run the Burbs (season one, CTV in Canada), Son of a Critch (season one, CTV in Canada), The Spencer Sisters (season one, CTV in Canada), and Sullivan’s Crossing (season one, from CTV in Canada)
Season four of Walker will debut midseason and be joined by the second and final season of 61st Street and the series premiere of spin-off FGirl Island.
The fates of All American: Homecoming, Gotham Knights, and Superman & Lois are still up in the air. Given that The CW is focusing on low-cost programming, it’s unlikely that many or any of them will survive.
