The CW has announced premiere dates for their shows that return in Fall 2021. As previously announced, shows like Superman & Lois and Naomi will wait to premiere in early 2022, but this won’t stop some big launches like The Flash Season 8, Walker Season 2, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Batwoman Season 3, Riverdale Season 6, and Legacies Season 3 in the Fall.
This announcement is interesting because in almost all cases the current seasons of these shows are still on the air and not finished.
