It has almost been a month since Nexstar acquired The CW, and I already hate them. , First, they cancelled Nancy Drew. Then, they did the same to DC’s Stargirl. Today, they opted not to order any additional episodes from their two new dramas, The Winchesters and Walker: Independence. Meaning that both series are only getting a 13-episode first season.
While that sounds grimmer than the demons The Winchesters go after, Deadline says that both shows could get a second season.
If Nexstar cancels all of The CW shows at the end of the season, they will get cancelled themselves. When The WB and UPN merged to give us The CW, they kept a few shows like Supernatural. If Nexstar doesn’t do the same, then they will lose all the viewers they had.
And if they cancel the Supernatural spinoff, I hope Netflix or HBO Max saves it. It is too good to only last 13 episodes.
