RENEWED. New seasons for Arrow, Dynasty, Supernatural, Supergirl, Riverdale, Legends of Tomorrow, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The Flash, Jane the Virgin and Black Lightning.


Several American TV series just got renewed for further seasons, meaning more superhero action and some Cristal for Cristal in Dynasty.

America's CW network has renewed Arrow for a 7th season, The Flash for a 5th season, Legends of Tomorrow for a 4th season, Supergirl for a 4th season, Jane the Virgin for a 5th season and Riverdale for a 3rd season that are all shows seen in South Africa and across Africa on M-Net (DStv 101) on MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV platform.

The new Black Lightning superhero show that just started has also been renewed for a second season, while Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on VUZU (DStv 116) has been renewed for a 4th and likely final season.

The spooky series Supernatural broadcast on SABC3 and that will likely see it's M-Net broadcast moved to 1Magic (DStv 103), has been renewed for a 14th season.

The reboot of Dynasty available on Netflix South Africa as episodes are broadcast on a weekly basis in America, has been renewed for a second season despite low ratings - very likely because of the lucrative international broadcasting rights deal with Netflix.

"We are proud to have such a deep bench of great returning series for 2018-19," says Mark Pedowitz, the CW president in a statement. "By picking these 10 series up for next season, we have a terrific selection of programming to choose from. And I'm especially happy that we'll continue to work with the incredibly talented casts, producers and writers who create the series our fans are so passionate about."

Valor, also from the CW, and also seen on M-Net has had terrible ratings and is very likely cancelled after its first season of 13 episodes.
