Scripted shows will still be a part of the CW network this winter.
Well, a small part. “All American” will be on Mondays and two light crime shows – the returning “Wild Cards” (shown here) and the new “Good Cop/Bad Cop” – will pair on Wednesdays.
The mini-network has been scrambling for an identity, ever since new owners decided to go with lower-cost series.
Right now, its only new, scripted shows are “Superman & Lois” (which ends its four-year run on Dec. 2) and two Canadian series. “Children Ruin Everything” returns Nov. 29; “Sullivan’s Crossing” ends its season Dec. 11. But now comes the mid-season recharge:
— “All American” – a holdover from the previous owners – starts its seventh season. It will show up on a Wednesday (Jan. 29), then settle in at 8 p.m. Mondays, starting Feb. 3.
— “Wild Cards” starts its second season at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 5. It was created as a light Canadian show about a quiet cop who reluctantly pairs with a high-energy con woman. The CW added extra money, to cast Giacomo Gianniotti from “Grey’s Anatomy” and Vanessa Morgan (shown here) from “Riverdale.”
— “Good Cop/Bad Cop” arrives two weeks later, to take the 9 p.m. spot. Leighton Meester” (“Gossip Girl”) and Luke Cook play sibling detectives, with Clancy Brown as their father, the police chief.
The rest of the line-up will continue to be a mix of wrestling, NASCAR, sports and more. Starting Jan. 23-24, “Police 24/7” and “Crime Nation” will be on Thursdays and two magician shows will return to Fridays.
In addition, there are movie-length documentaries on some Saturdays. On Feb. 15 will be a portrait of the boy-band surge of the 1990s. The next three weeks have “I Am” profiles of Joe Frazier, Luke Perry and Raquel Welch.
Scripted shows on CW? Yes, a few
