The news comes a month ahead of the broadcast upfronts week, where networks will reveal their upcoming fall schedules and announce which shows will be renewed or canceled. Last week, an update surfaced on some DC shows, which are part of the ever-growing Arrowverse, that are currently in “the bubble” and whose fate remains uncertain, including Gotham Knights.

According to Deadline, the CW will cancel at least half of the four DC projects airing on the network. Legends of Tomorrow is one of the shows that may not be renewed, given the fact that it’s getting old and has undergone multiple cast changeovers throughout its run. Another series that might suffer the same destiny is Gotham Knights, which recently received a pilot order. However, as the latter takes place in a similar universe as Batwoman, at least one of them will be picked up for another season. Meanwhile, Naomi, which is a relatively new show, could be given a second season before saying goodbye.

The decision to cancel some of its series comes amid rumors that the CW is being put on sale by WarnerMedia and Paramount. Nevertheless, the network is known for giving a proper closure to its shows, as seen with Stephen Amell’s Arrow and Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl. Still, the uncertainty surrounding the CW’s ownership could spell bad news for Legends of Tomorrow and Gotham Knight’s fans.

These aren’t the first DC Universe series to be unexpectedly canceled. Back in the ’90s, the iconic Batman animated series ended production after only 85 episodes. In the same way, the 2014 adaptation of Constantine was scratched out from NBC after one season despite critical praise because its ratings weren’t nearly enough for the major broadcast network, and SyFy’s Krypton suffered similar treatment in 2019 when it was canceled after two seasons.

Despite speculation, Legends of Tomorrow, Gotham Knights, and Batwoman could still be renewed, as no official news has been announced so far. Unfortunately, die-hard fans have no choice but to wait a few weeks to learn the fate of some of their favorite shows.

Gotham Knights received a pilot order at The CW.
