GOTHAM KNIGHTS Ordered To Series By The CW, NAOMI Ending After One Season

Overnight the CW’s now infamous axe has swung on much of the network’s slate of series. Following the loss of both Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman the network has also brought a premature end to another DC Comics series, Naomi.

But whilst taking with one hand, The CW has also decided to give with another. It has been confirmed that Gotham Knights, currently shooting its pilot episode under the watchful eye of Danny Cannon, has been ordered to series.

The series synopsis reads:

In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. And as the city’s most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it’s ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors.

The network has also given series orders to Walker: Independence, a prequel to the Jared Padalecki starring Walker. That series will feature former Arrowverse star Kat McNamara in one of the lead roles. Another series connected to one of the stars of Supernatural has also found itself with a series order. The Winchesters, narrated and produced by Jensen Ackles, will bring the story of Dean and Sam’s parents to the small screen as the first Supernatural spin-off to make it to series.

As both CBS and Warner Bros. look to sell The CW to a new owner, a number of other series have also been brought to an end. Charmed, Dynasty, In the Dark, Legacies Roswell, New Mexico and 4400 have all been cancelled. That takes the show from 19 series in 2021/22 to 11 in the 2022/23 season. The fate of DC’s Stargirl remains up in the air with season 3 due to air over summer.
