According to the official logline: “Season 7 is taking it back to where it all began: Beverly Hills High and South Crenshaw High. It’s the same heart, same NFL dream, same crosstown rivalry, same messy hormones, ushered in by a new generation of LA teens, a new Beverly Coach and our Og vortex fam, who are surprised to find they’re supposed to be the responsible adults now.”

Wild Cards, starring Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti, returns for a second season on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 8 pm.

The new comedic drama series Good Cop/Bad Cop premieres Wednesday, Feb.

“All American” will return to the CW for its seventh season on Jan. 29.

That night marks the season’s first “sneak peek” before the Season 7 premiere episode airs again on Monday, Feb. 3, which will remain the show’s timeslot for the rest of the season. The news was announced as part of the CW’s midseason schedule announcement for 2025, in which “All American” is one of the main relics of the CW’s pre-Nexstar programming slate.

The other scripted premieres in the network’s midseason lineup are “Good Cop/Bad Cop,” a new dramedy led by Leighton Meester, Clancy Brown and Luke Cook premiering on Feb. 19; and “Wild Cards,” which returns for its second season on Feb. 5.

Beyond that, the slate is dominated by unscripted programming. “Police 24/7” and “Crime Nation” return on Jan. 23, while magic-themed series “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” and “Masters of Illustion” are set for the next day.

“All American” is leading the charge when it comes to The CW’s midseason premieres this winter. The football drama will be joined by new series such as “Good Cop/Bad Cop” and returning staples like “Penn & Teller: Fool Us.”

Additionally, this winter will see the premiere of the NASCAR Xfinity Series on its new network home. The 2025 season will begin on the legendary Daytona International Speedway Feb. 15. All 33 races will air live on The CW during the 2025 season.

The CW’s winter season will begin in earnest on Jan. 23, which will see the returns of the crime-focused reality series “Police 24/7” as well as Season 2 of “Crime Nation.” After that Thursday, The CW will celebrate magic, debuting Season 11 of “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” and Season 11 of “Masters of Illusion” on Jan. 24.

On the scripted side of things, Season 7 of “All American” will return with a special sneak peek on Jan.

The CW is the fifth and final broadcast network (following NBC, Fox, ABC and CBS) to unveil its midseason game plan, and it features a January return date for All American (which only finaled in mid-July).

The netlet’s midseason slate also includes a Season 2 premiere for Wild Cards and the debut of Good Cop/Bad Cop, in which Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and Luke Cook (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) play sibling detectives who don’t always see eye-to-eye as they work together to solve crimes; Clancy Brown (of all good things) plays the pair’s pop.

Updated with official details and exec comment. Candle Media, which launched in 2021 with backing from private-equity giant Blackstone, is restructuring its operations in response to broader changes in the streaming sector.

The company has issued a press release confirming some of what had been reported by Semafor on Tuesday morning. (See earlier details below.)

“We are excited to announce that in order to continue to drive and enhance the collaboration and synergies that are core to Candle’s vision, mission and culture we have organized our live action, premium content capabilities into a newly formed Candle Studios division, which will be led by the incomparable Sarah Harden, who will serve as its CEO,” said Candle Media Co-CEOs Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs. “This will bring all of our live action properties into one division, with each benefiting from a go-to-market strategy and shared resources, while retaining their unique brand identity,...

The 2023-24 TV season was blown apart before it ever began. Two labor strikes and media companies’ refusal to budge on the demands of writers and actors wiped out a couple dozen fall premieres for scripted series on the broadcast networks. When management did agree to new terms with writers and actors (largely accepting the two unions’ demands), it meant shortened seasons for nearly every returning comedy and drama.

One thing remained consistent with previous years, however: The vast majority of shows on the five English-language broadcasters brought in smaller on-air audiences than they did the season before.

Of the 143 primetime series with complete data for the September-to-May TV season, only 11 drew bigger total audiences than they did in the 2022-23 season, based on Nielsen’s seven-day ratings for 2023-24. Just five shows scored better ratings in the key ad-sales demographic of adults 18-49 vs. last season.

One of the more surprising elements of The CW’s fall schedule unveiled last month was that there was no room for Penn & Teller: Fool Us – one of the longest-running anchors of the network’s unscripted slate.

That’s changed now as the network has renewed the show for Season 11.

It is one of a handful of renewals at the network; The CW also picked up All American for a seventh season and dated season four of religious drama The Chosen.

The magic competition show is centered around the legendary duo, who invite aspiring magicians are invited to perform their best trick to try and fool them. Anyone who succeeds wins the right to perform with Penn & Teller in their show at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Penn & Teller see the trick only once and have to immediately try to work it out.
