Cancellations are not over yet

After the fans supernatural was taken by surprise by the cancellation Winchesters with only one season, it seems that fans of the productions CW DC-related issues are something to worry about too. In accordance with Hollywood Reporterthe American broadcaster intends to change its business model and plans to revive only one of its productions related to the superhero universe: Gotham Knights or Superman and Lois.

THR indicates that there is currently no clear choice between the two series. This is because while Superman and Lois outperform the audience, spanning roughly 1.2 million spectators against 675 thousand Gotham Knights, the series also has a much higher production cost.

Despite the lower cost, Gotham Knights was more negatively received by both the public and critics.

If production cost is a bigger factor for The CW, Gotham Knights will come out on top. According to the site, this project is the least expensive DC series the network has ever made.

All of this would be part of Nexstar’s initiative to make the channel profitable, since in its more than 20 years of existence, The CW never been profitable. To do this, part of the plan will be to maintain only two productions with original scripts from the net, and fill the rest of its programming with unscripted series and lower cost imported projects such as Canadian drama.
