CW Fall TV returns with new CW shows and the return of our favorite series to sink our teeth in this autumn!

It all kicks off on Oct. 1 when the eighth season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us makes its premiere. The magic competition is set to usher in a wave of new content for the network as nearly every week a show either makes its series premiere or returns for another season.

Fans of Nancy Drew are first up to see their scripted mystery drama return for season 3. Do take note that the series has moved to a new night. Nancy Drew, which aired on Wednesdays in its first and second season, will now hold the 8 p.m. slot on Fridays starting Oct. 8.

The majority of The CW’s fall TV line-up makes its land in October, however, you’ll want to mark your calendars for what’s coming in November. Both The Flash and Riverdale are returning for their eighth and sixth seasons respectively and are doing so with a bang on Nov. 16!

The Flash season 8 will be a five-episode crossover event, titled Armageddon, that’ll see the return of Cress Williams as Black Lightning, Kat McNamara as The Green Arrow, and Tom Cavanagh as The Reverse Flash. It’ll be a welcome sight for fans who’ve missed their characters.

According to Screen Rant, The Atom, Batwoman, Alex Danvers as The Sentinel, and Ryan Choi will also be a part of this crossover that deals with “a powerful alien threat.”

Riverdale‘s big five-episode event for season 6 hasn’t been confirmed to be a crossover, but we’re show hoping it is as season 5 seems to be building toward one with Chilling Adventures with Sabrina. Will something witchy this way come to Riverdale? Fingers crossed that it does!
