It is probably time to change the CW moniker to GB for Greg Berlanti who will have five series on the network next season. The CW has given a series order to the Berlanti-produced Riverdale, which will join his superhero quartet of The Flash, Arrow, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl, newly relocated to the CW from CBS for next season. Riverdale is one of three pilots picked up to series by the CW, along with Frequency and No Tomorrow.

Based on the Archie Comics characters, Riverdale, from WBTV, has been the clear frontrunner among this year’s crop of CW pilots. Originally developed at Fox last season, when it did not go to pilot, the project sailed through development and production, with the pilot getting high marks.

We have a repeat of 2014, when the network picked up a comic-based drama from Greg Berlanti (Flash) and a telenovela adaptation produced by Ben Silverman and directed by Brad Silberling (Jane the Virgin). This time, the project is No Tomorrow, based on a Brazilian format. Like Jane the Virgin, the project comes from CBS TV Studios.

I hear it came down to the wire for the third slot, with Frequency and Kevin Williamson’s paranormal drama in contention, both from WBTV. Frequency, based on the New Line movie, is more lucrative for the studio as the project, like Riverdale, is based on company-owned IP and will remain solely owned, not become a co-production with CBS TV Studios. This marks the second series pickup for Lin Pictures, which also has the Lethal Weapon remake at Fox.

Here are details about the CW’s newly picked up series:
