The CW 2020-2021 Fall Schedule: Scripted Series Pushed to 2021, Supergirl set to Midseason

On Thursday, The CW becomes the second network in this wacky unconventional for the May Upfronts with its fall schedule. But the thing is that they're planned fall schedule will have an asterisk because their series won't premiere till January 2021.

With the acquirements of series, the network will be airing those along with unscripted programs and the reaming episodes of the final season of Supernatural. In 2021, the new rebooted Walker Texas Ranger series Walker will take Supernatural's timeslot.

With that in mind, Supergirl will be pushed back to midseason sometime around spring or summer due to accommodate Melissa Benoist's real-life pregnancy. Charmed will take Supergirl's Sunday timeslot. Superman and Lois, the new series, will get the 9pm slot following The Flash in 2021. And still no word on Katy Kane's renewal status yet.

And the Arrowverse crossover won't be as big as it was the last few seasons. Expect a smaller group with Superman and Batwoman.
