5 New Shows Coming to The CW (Including a Highly Anticipated Reboot!)

17/05/2018 - 08:05 PM

The CW might've canceled Lucy Hale's Life Sentence, and The Originals is coming to an end after five seasons, but there is a lot of good news from this network, too! It's renewed so many shows . . . like, a lot of shows. Everything from Supernatural and Riverdale [1] (yay, more milkshakes and mysteries [2]) to Supergirl and Jane the Virgin has been given another season [3].

What's even better than all of the renewals from The CW — and there are a lot of them — is the new shows it'll be adding to its Fall TV lineup. There are a few reboots and revivals heading our way — with a few modern twists and turns, of course — in addition to one major spinoff that will be keeping fans of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals coming back for more [4].

To see what The CW has up its sleeves for the upcoming TV season, keep reading. These new shows are going to be good, and we've got the trailers to prove it!

Charmed

If you loved the original Charmed, then this reboot should be right up your alley! The new Charmed will follow three sisters as well — played by Melonie Diaz, Sarah Jeffery, and Madeleine Mantock — living in a college town when they discover they're witches. They must learn how to be witches, vanquish demons, and maintain their familial bond all while living together and maintaining their "normal girl" personas.

Time slot: Sundays at 9 p.m.

All American

This drama will focus on a high school player from South Los Angeles who is recruited to play for Beverly Hills High. The series, starring Taye Diggs [6] and Daniel Ezra, is based on the life of pro football player Spencer Paysinger [7] and will show what it's like to balance two very different worlds while playing the sport you love.

Time slot: Wednesdays at 9 p.m.

In the Dark

In the Dark revolves around a flawed blind woman (Shameless's Perry Mattfeld) who is the only witness to the murder of her drug-dealing friend. When a police officer dismisses her story, she takes matters into her own hands and decides to find the killer herself while keeping up her dating life and working at Breaking Blind, a guide dog school owned by her parents.

Time slot: Midseason

Legacies

If you loved The Vampire Diaries and are sad about The Originals ending, don't panic, because the story will continue with Legacies. It will star Matt Davis (aka Alaric Saltzman) and Danielle Rose Russell (aka Hope Mikaelson) and follow the teenage Hope in Mystic Falls as she attends the Salvatore Boarding School For the Young and Gifted. Any chance we can get a cameo from Caroline?!

Time slot: Thursdays at 9 p.m.

Roswell, New Mexico

Roswell, New Mexico is a new take on an old tale. Based on Melinda Metz's book Roswell High, which also inspired the original Jason Katims series, it will focus on the daughter of undocumented immigrants who returns home to Roswell and learns that her crush is an alien who's been keeping his abilities a secret. She decides to protect his secret and work with him to discover his origins. Things change once a violent attack and government cover-up point to a bigger alien presence on Earth.

Time slot: Midseason
