THR reports two additional hours of original programming are coming Sundays. The new schedule will launch in October, when The CW announces its 2018-19 lineup. The network has nine new projects in development, with its programming slate increasing from 10 to 12 hours this fall.The CW has traditionally only programmed shows from Monday to Friday nights. The additional two hours could be for new or returning shows, which could mean fewer cancelations or more new series coming next season. Since 2011, The CW has increased its midseason offerings from two to five scripted shows, with its summer schedule now offering three to four unscripted shows.The CW's fifth live-action superhero show, Black Lightning, premiered on the network last month. It joins Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow , and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
