The CW Confirms Episode Orders for Next Season’s DC Shows

We got plenty of DC television news during The CW’s panel at the Television Critics Association (TCA) tour today. Here’s another tidbit from the presentation, courtesy of Deadline. During the panel, the network confirmed the episode numbers for its 2016-2017 slate, including the five DC/Vertigo shows.

Supergirl (Season 2), The Flash (Season 3) and Arrow (Season 5) all have 22 episode orders for this season. Supergirl had 20 episodes during its first season on CBS, while Flash and Arrow both had 23 in their prior seasons.

However, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (Season 2) only has a 13 episode order for this season, with an option to order more later on. This is three episodes less than the first season’s 16 episode order. And finally, iZombie (Season 3), which won’t return until midseason, also has a 13 episode order.
