CW Orders Additional Episodes of ALL AMERICAN, CHARMED, and LEGACIES

The CW has announced new script orders for all three of its new fall shows, according to Variety.

"All American" and "Charmed" have been asked for five more scripts, while "Legacies" will get three additional, bringing "All American" and "Charmed" up to 18 scripts and "Legacies" to 16.

"All American," which is based on the life of ex-NFL linebacker Spencer Paysinger, centers on a HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL player (Daniel Ezra) from South Central, Los Angeles who gets recruited to play for a Beverly Hills high school. Now caught between two worlds, he must navigate, and at times bring together, THE NEIGHBORHOOD and family he has always known and loved with an affluent area that may offer him something bigger.

"Charmed," a reboot of the late-1990s drama of the same name, sees three new sisters (Melonie Diaz, Sarah Jeffery and Madeleine Mantock) discovering they come from a powerful line of witches after their mother's death. The trio, with a little help from their advisor and guide (Rupert Evans), set out to protect humankind from dark forces and demons, one of whom killed their mother.

"Legacies" is a spinoff of "The Originals," in which Klaus Mikaelson's daughter Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and Alaric Saltzman's (Matthew Davis) twins, Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) and Josie (Kaylee Bryant), along with other supernatural beings, come of age at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted.

The new shows join the CW's lineup of "Supernatural," "The Flash" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," among others, on Oct. 10, beginning with the premiere of "All American." "Charmed" will help inaugurate the CW's brand new Sunday night line-up on Oct 14. "Legacies" premieres Oct. 25.

The CW also has two new dramas coming mid-season, "In The Dark" and "Roswell, New Mexico."
