Since 2012, the CW has created its own DC universe, the Arrowverse, Starting with Arrow and later with several other shows and spin-offs. Arrow itself has ended last season but the other shows are still going strong.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all the shows, with The Flash, Batwoman, and Supergirl forced to end their season early. Furthermore, the pandemic delayed production of the new seasons causing the network to move their fall schedule to 2021. This, alongside several cast changes and new additions to the universe, makes the Arrowverse look a little different this year.
Now the network finally releases the official release dates for four of the shows. The second season of Batwoman is set to begin on Sunday, January 17th. The fourth season of Black Lightning is set for Monday, February 8th. The seventh season of The Flash and the debut of the new Superman & Lois series are set for Tuesday, February 23rd.
The two remaining shows, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow, will arrive later on and they still don’t have an official release date. Legends of Tomorrow typically premieres later than the other shows. The sixth season of Supergirl, which is set to be the last, is held back due to the lead actress Melissa Benoist’s pregnancy.
