It may have been completely and utterly expected, but, y’know, slow news day ‘n’ all that.

Yes, as the headline suggests, The CW has moved to renew all of its shared realm of Arrowverse shows. That means that Arrow will be taking aim for an eighth year, The Flash will be speeding towards a sixth season, and Supergirl and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will both be returning for a sixth season.

Elsewhere, the network has renewed Black Lightning for a third season. That show isn’t technically a part of the Arrowverse, although it is again another series based on a superhero pulled directly from the pages of DC Comics. Of course, there’s also plans for a Batwoman series to premiere towards the end of 2019, too.

Here in the UK, Black Lightning can be found on Netflix, whilst the other four shows all have a home on Sky One.
