The CW has renewed 10 series for upcoming seasons including Arrow, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Dynasty, and Jane the Virgin.

Among superhero shows, Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, SUPERGIRL and BLACK LIGHTNING all got picked up (for Seasons 7, 5, 4, 4 and 2), as did the critically lauded CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND (entering Season 4) and JANE THE VIRGIN (renewed for Season 5).

Riverdale will also be back for Season 3, while the stalwart Supernatural is signed, sealed and delivered for a 14th season. All as The CW expands its programming to 12 weekly hours, with the addition of Sunday fare.

"As The CW expands to a six-night, Sunday through Friday schedule next season, we are proud to have such a deep bench of great returning series for 2018-19," network president Mark Pedowitz said in a statement. "By picking these 10 series up for next season, we have a terrific selection of programming to choose from when we set our fall schedule in May, with more still to come."
