Television is making its return in January as the Big 5 networks launch the winter premieres of their line-ups that debuted in the fall of 2022 and introduce their viewers to new series bowing over the next couple of months. However, unlike their counterparts, The CW‘s midseason schedule rollout had been gradual but finally most of the premiere dates are known except for two shows.
The CW’s new docuseries, 100 Days to Indy, is scheduled for a spring release and marks the network’s first unscripted original and program under Nexstar’s regime. As for Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the series was expected to return with new episodes on Jan. 20 but has since been removed from the schedule with the note that the show will return at a later date. Criss Angel’s Magic with the Stars‘s return has been pushed up to fill the primetime slot.
Here’s the CW midseason schedule as we know it so far!
