Ratings Roundup for the Week of November 13, 2022

:)

I wouldn't be surprised if Warners and Berlanti team up for something on HBOMax.

@Charmedones_Prue, @RoseRed:

There are two projects executive produced by Berlanti that have received a series order from HBO Max and are based on DC properties: Dead Boy Detectives and Green Lantern. A third one, Strange Adventures, had also received a series order but that order was later rescinded. Several other projects have been pitched to the network, so there may be more in-development series in the future where Berlanti is also involved.

Ahh yeah, it seems the superhero phase has run its course (at least on over-the-air TV). Disney+ has a variety of Marvel shows, and I wouldn't be surprised if Warners and Berlanti team up for something on HBOMax. 

There is still at least one more season of Superman & Lois, and CW execs are still promising to get Gotham Knights on the air in a few months. What happens after that ... who knows. 

Yes HBOMax and Disney+ are among my streaming subscriptions

The main CBS network isn't going anywhere. So nothing to worry about there. 

As for The CW network, it was an amalgamation of two smaller networks (the WB and UPN) which merged in the mid-2000s to become The CW. All of the programs on the CW were produced by either Warner Brothers or CBS Productions (in as even of a split as they could manage). Even though the network didn't make any money, the production companies (Warners and CBS) did, through DVD sales, syndication deals, and the like so they didn't particularly care about ratings numbers or advert sales. 

Part of what NexStar wants to do is expand who they buy content from, in theory as a way to save money and make the network profitable. Time will tell.

So The CW does not run a full schedule. They air two hours of content per night as opposed to three. So with that math, they need 14 hours of content per week. The Canadian shows have the advantage of being cheap since the US is a secondary distribution market, so assuming they haven't been cancelled by the Canadian networks, I can see them sticking around another year just to plug holes. 

As for what's left over from the WB and CBS contracts you have: 
All American
All American: Homecoming
Criss Angel's Magic with the Stars
** Gotham Knights 
Kung Fu
Masters Of Illusion
Penn & Teller: Fool Us
** Recipe For Disaster
Superman & Lois
Walker
Walker: Independence
The Winchesters
World's Funniest Animals

So far nothing has been renewed, but the following shows have already been cancelled:
The Flash
Nancy Drew
Riverdale
Stargirl
Whose Line

My guess is the following are the safest for a renewal:
All American
All American: Homecoming
Penn & Teller: Fool Us
Walker

Walker: Independence and The Winchesters both pull consistent numbers and could get a second season just off of the name recognition of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki for the network, but the fact there was no back nine order was telling. 

Gotham Knights is a tough call. It's the type of show the new owner has already said they don't want since it caters to a younger-skewing audience. Depending on how the contracts were written, it's possible the WB will air the first season on CW and then move it to HBOMax if Nexstar doesn't want it. Frankly, Recipe for Disaster sounds ridiculous, and may never see the light of day. 

Kung Fu could go either way. 
Superman & Lois is likely done, it would be the only superhero show left on the network
World's Funniest Animals has the benefit of being cheap (but it's only 30 minutes)
Masters of Illusion and Criss Angel never pulled the audience of Penn & Teller, but I could see the possibility of putting them on a Saturday just to plug holes

Always a pleasure to pick your brain and get your input, @LadyShelley! :)

Taking that into account, I'd say that All American, All American: Homecoming, Gotham Knights (which is yet to premiere), Superman & Lois, and The Winchesters will likely be renewed. The fate of Kung Fu, Walker, and Walker: Independence rests on the number of unscripted shows they will decide to renew. Masters of Illusion, Mysteries Decoded, and Penn & Teller: Fool Us will probably be renewed, whereas Criss Angel's Magic with the Stars and World's Funniest Animals probably won't. Recipe for Disaster has yet to premiere, so it could go either way. It remains to be seen what they'll do with the imports, but most likely they are done.

The CW's new owners announced they would be carrying ten current WB/CBS shows into next season.
