The CW sets its biggest-ever summer schedule with 11 original shows

The Hollywood Reporter

Six new shows will join the returning Burden of Truth, Masters of Illusion, The Outpost, Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Whose Line Is It Anyway? The CW will also have four midseason shows running into the summer, including iZombie and Jane the Virgin. The newly announced shows include The Big Stage, Hypnotize Me, Mysteries Decoded, Pandora and Red Bull. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, The CW's "flood-the-zone approach to summer is similar to one taken by ABC, which is also upping its originals after the end of the traditional September-to-May season. The increased amount of new programming offers more opportunity for ad sales on air and, not incidentally, on The CW's ad-supported streaming platforms."
