The CW has given a series order to new dramas Kung Fu and The Republic of Sarah, it was announced on Tuesday. The Hollywood Reporter indicates that The CW’s other two traditional pilots, political drama Maverick and its third iteration of The Lost Boys, have been rolled to next season, while planted spinoffs of Arrow and The 100 have fates yet to be determined.
