The CW has announced their premiere dates for Fall 2016, including their four DC superhero TV shows. Rather than launching them all the same week, they’re splitting them across two.
- Tuesday. October 4:
- The Flash season three premiere
- Wednesday, October 5:
- Arrow season five premiere
- Monday, October 10:
- Supergirl season two premiere
- Thursday, October 13:
- Legends of Tomorrow season two premiere
All four shows run from 8:00-9:00pm.
Seeing them all on the schedule as a regular block of programming really brings home the size of the TV universe that DC has been building. Even if Supergirl stays a separate universe (though fans have speculated that Barry’s time travel antics could result in merging the realities after the inevitable Flashpoint-inspired story arc), it’s connected to the other shows in tone, producers, and of course the fact that it’s already crossed over with The Flash. That four-way mega-crossover they’re planning seems a bit more real now!
