Following sibling CBS, which announced its fall premiere dates last week, the CW network also has unveiled its fall plans. Like CBS, the CW is sticking to tradition, once again rolling out its lineup a couple of weeks after the start of the season. Its premiere week starts Monday, Oct. 9, with all series debuting that week, including new additions Dynasty, a reboot of the classic soap, and military drama Valor. That is a consolidated launch similar to CBS’. The CW rolled out its shows over 2-3 weeks in the past couple of years.
As usual, the CW will use the iHeartRadio Music Festival to kick off the fall and promote its lineup in the days leading to the fall launch.
Here is The CW’s Fall 2017 premiere schedule:

WHY did ‘Riverdale’ have to be up against ‘The Blacklist’???
I wonder how they are going to schedule the crossover this season with Arrow on two say afterwards and an hour later. I assume the crossover ends on Arrow and it would be even worse if it starts on Arrow the week before. Either way it leaves a big gap in the story. Will people stick around for the conclusion?
That sounds almost like the excuse why the dropped the cliffhangers from, 1966-1968 BATMAN in the 3rd Season – people wouldn’t remember what happened a week ago (But yet they still did multi-part stories where one part wrapped up in one and teased the next)
I’m sure they have logistics for all the series and how to fit the parts.
