As usual, The CW is doing things a little differently, with only four new shows coming to the network this year – two in the fall with Valor and Dynasty, and two as midseason premieres in Black Lightning and Life Sentence.
The CW is bringing up the rear as far as the 2017 network upfronts are concerned.
The CW is aiming for the 90210 and The OC crowd with the show, making its pairing with the genre-straddling Riverdale on Wednesday nights a smart choice.
Meanwhile, the reboot of Dynasty is the next in a long line of re-imaginings of television properties for a new generation.
