A reboot of the speedy superhero series joins a zombie drama from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, a post-apocalyptic drama, and an American adaptation of a Venezuelan telenovela on The CW’s schedule next season.
Having previously renewed Arrow, Supernatural, The Originals, Reign, and The Vampire Diaries, The CW had only a few holes to fill in its fall schedule.
On May 8, the network revealed that The 100, Hart of Dixie, and Beauty and the Beast would be returning next season and that two more DC Comics properties would be joining Arrow on the schedule: The Flash and iZombie. The CW also ordered an apocalyptic drama about a mysterious pulse from outer space and an dramedy about a virgin who is accidentally artificial inseminated.
The Tomorrow People, The Carrie Diaries, and Star-Crossed will not be returning next season. Meanwhile, the proposed Supernatural spin-off, Bloodlines, did not make the cut, but it's possible that the idea of a Supernatural spin-off could be revisited in the future.
The broadcast networks officially present their 2014–2015 schedules to advertisers beginning May 12.
