Fans of Walker, Superman & Lois, All American, and All-American: Homecoming may not see those shows return with new seasons until well into 2024. Perry Sook, CEO of CW parent Nexstar Media Group, recently spoke about the future of the network during the company’s quarterly earnings call.

The current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are delaying the production of original scripted programming on all of the broadcast networks. Sook said the following about the network’s content, per Deadline:

“The farther the strike goes on, they get pushed further and further into 2024. [However, the network has] the most scripted as a percentage of our schedule of any of the Big 5 broadcast networks going into the fall. We also have some more high-profile and noisy reality shows, which will bring attention to the network as well. So, we kind of like our chances in this chaotic environment. When others are afraid, we tend to take some big swings.”

As far as the network’s future, Sook also said that “We are confident [the strikes] will not hurt our forward progress at The CW. The majority of our fall slate was material already developed and for unscripted.”

Nextar purchased a majority stake in The CW and took over the network’s programming earlier this year. The company is focusing on becoming profitable by airing inexpensive programming, either acquired scripted shows or unscripted series.

Premiere dates for new episodes of Walker (season four), Superman & Lois (season four), All American (season six), and All-American: Homecoming (season three) will be announced later.
