Another postponement due to the coronavirus pandemic: CW will delay until January the return of its regularly scheduled lineup and premieres for Superman & Lois, a Walker Texas Ranger revival and other new 2020-21 season series.
The fall lineup will be filled with alternative shows and scripted series acquired from international sources, such as Coroner from Canada and Dead Pixels from BBC Studios in England, and the DC Universe canceled series Swamp Thing.
NEW FOR FALL: Swamp Thing stars Crystal Reed as a Louisiana doctor investigating a swamp-born virus. Serinda Swan plays the Coroner, a widowed doctor investigating suspicious deaths in Toronto. In Dead Pixels, three English gamers are obsessed with the online fantasy game "Kingdom Scrolls."
CW's fall Tell Me A Story anthology series re-imagines childhood fairy tales as dark and twisted stories set in New York City. Two Sentence Horror Stories is another anthology series which "taps into primal fears… without our modern society." Elizabeth Stanton (Popstar This Week) hosts World's Funniest Animals videos.
