The CW has announced that it's giving a new season to the majority of its shows.

Supernatural, which is being picked up for its 14th season, will keep its title as the longest-running series in CW history.

Another nine of its shows are also getting a new run, including a third season for Riverdale, which is based on the characters of Archie Comics.

All five of Greg Berlanti's superhero dramas will be coming back, with Arrow getting a seventh season and The Flash speeding into a fifth.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Melissa Benoist's Supergirl will both get a fourth season, while new drama Black Lightning is receiving a second.

The remake of classic soap Dynasty has impressed enough to be coming back for a second season, and, according to star/co-creator Rachel Bloom, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is going to be ending with a season four.

Jane the Virgin has also been renewed for a fifth season.

There's no news yet on the fate of Life Sentence, iZombie, The 100 or Valor, but a decision about those shows is expected to be made in May.

It was recently announced that The CW is getting an extra two hours of programming per week next season.

Since the channel was launched 12 years ago, it has only aired original programming from 8-10pm on Monday through Friday.

But next season, it will also programme shows from 8pm to 10pm on Sunday nights.

"By expanding to six nights, The CW is now able to give our fans even more of the series they're so passionate about," the network's president Mark Pedowitz said.
