Yes, it's been speculated season 9 will be the last for the Flash. Superman & Lois and Stargirl got early renewals for a third season each. So those are the 3 we know that are continuing. We've yet to know the fate of Naomi and if the Gotham Knights and/or Justice U will be greenlit for a full series or not.

EDIT: For an unknown series that never got made, Drake was considered for Cyborg.

So delightfully random .

 

[Mostezli]

Guess we're nearing the end of the DCCW (Flarrowverse) continuity and making way for the DC Films tv expansion.

Given I feel like DisMarvel goes a little too full bore on the MCU, not sure how I'd feel about that.

 

[Mostezli]

Given I feel like DisMarvel goes a little too full bore on the MCU, not sure how I'd feel about that.

Waiting on more clarity from WBDiscovery. For example, if they scrap other continuities to maintain one (be it DCEU or Batman), then we'll know the obvious.

 

[AdrenalineRush1996]

For an unknown series that never got made, Drake was considered for Cyborg.

Man, that would've been awesome.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Apparently there was a pitch for a 7th season of Supergirl. (where the title character wouldn't have appeared ).

 

[Big Frank]

According to THR, Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow were cancelled because WB declined to renew the lease for their sound stages.

The news follows the cancellations of Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow last month. Sources say the leases on the soundstages for both DC Comics dramas was up and producers Warner Bros. TV did not want to extend them.

 

[Fone Bone]

According to THR, Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow were cancelled because WB declined to renew the lease for their sound stages.

What a mess this merger has been.

 

[Yojimbo]

Well, today (Thursday) is the CW upfront. Should be "interesting"...

 

[RoyalRubble]

For the CW, Stargirl season 3 premieres this Fall (instead of Summer) and will be airing on Wednesday nights.

Gotham Knights, Superman & Lois (Season 3) and The Flash (Season 9) will premiere mid-season, so in early 2023.

Some comments from Mark Pedowitz.

 

[Yojimbo]

Colton Hayes revealed the real reasons he left Arrow again was because of depression and someone in the cast he couldn't stand working with.

 

[Frontier]

Colton Hayes revealed the real reasons he left Arrow again was because of depression and someone in the cast he couldn't stand working with.

Well, that kind of sucks, especially since I loved him as Roy. I really wonder who it could've been since most of the main cast were still on the show during the times he came back .

 

[AdrenalineRush1996]

Well, that kind of sucks, especially since I loved him as Roy. I really wonder who it could've been since most of the main cast were still on the show during the times he came back .

My guess is someone who has been under fire in recent years.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Nexstar will acquire a 75% stake of the CW. Mark Pedowitz will apparently remain President of the network.

Not sure how this might affect their DC TV shows but I figured the news would be relevant to post here, too.

 

[Yojimbo]

Comments from David Ramsey - about the reveal on Superman & Lois, the potential of a rebooted Arrowverse, and reaffirms he'd like to be Green Lantern but it would have to be on the right budget but admits things are unclear right now after CW's purchase and the WBD merger.
