While many people have joked about the quality of production at The CW, the network has become home to many beloved television series. From Supernatural to The Vampire Diaries to the entirety of the DC Universe shows, everyone fell in love with at least one of them.
Sadly, that era is now over. However, the future still looks bright for The CW's 2024/2025 broadcast season. And even though the majority of scripted series have yet to be renewed, there are plenty of shows on the schedule to get excited about.
Trivial Pursuit (Monday)
Scrabble (Monday)
These two game shows are exactly what you think they are: TV versions of the board games everyone loves and knows. Both Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble are being produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW and Lionsgate Alternative Television and are set to debut this fall.

The CW has unveiled its slate for the fall 2024-2025 season with returning favorites and new titles, including the expansion of the network’s CW Sports content. Hit scripted series Superman & Lois will return for its final season, and it’s the only pre-Nexstar era show currently on the schedule for next season. Canadian drama series Sullivan’s Crossing is also set to return. This means popular scripted dramas such as Walker, All American, and All American: Homecoming remain in limbo. None of those shows appear on the fall lineup and aren’t confirmed to return at midseason either. “No decisions have been made yet on those titles,” a network representative told TVLine. Instead, the lineup includes new scripted programming, including Joan, starring Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, and The Librarians: The Next Chapter, a spinoff of the original fantasy adventure series The Librarians.

The CW has its own spin on The Librarians, coming up with The Librarians: The Next Chapter.
What's coming next for The Librarians? Let's take a look at what we know about the new series.
How did The Librarians End?
The series finale of The Librarians was bittersweet at the time that it aired.
It had a happy ending, but it was the last episode of a beloved show.
For a while, it seemed that Nicole Noone got her way in The Librarians Season 4 Episode 12, "The Echoes of Memory."
