The CW Renewal Status Report: ‘All American,’ ‘Homecoming’ & ‘Walker’
Report on the renewal odds for the CW's drama series 'All American', 'Homecoming' and 'Walker' and their challenges.
Amid headwinds from a soft ad market, the CW has been looking for more savings beyond the ones initially identified in the network’s pursuit of profitability by 2025 as its owners continue to spend on non-entertainment programming with LIV Golf, ACC football/basketball, Arizona Bowl, WWE NXT, Inside the NFL and the NASCAR Xfinity Series bringing its sport offerings to 500 hours next year. As Deadline reported in November 2022, shortly after Texas-based Nexstar Media Group acquired 70% of the CW and unveiled their cost-cutting plans, executives floated to CBS Studios and Warner Bros. Television a target license fee for drama series of $1 million dollars per episode going forward. The drama has been building toward telling a complete story creatively after seven seasons by wrapping the arc for its main character, Spencer James (Daniel Ezra), who is headed to the NFL draft after his junior year in college.
