The Librarian spin-off picked up by CW. Now, there are a list of reasons that is a weird statement right now, but there it is!
How TF did Dean sell a show in the middle of a Writer's Strike, with a actor's strike looking more and more probably every day, to the CW of all places?
Obviously, I hoped the announcement was going to be renewing Leverage in the middle of this mess, and if that had happened that would be a strong signal that the networks were giving in, since FreeVee is Amazon owned and it sounds like they are looking to build up FreeVee a lot, it's done well for them.
But, I guess the upshot is that all the recent think pieces eulogizing the CW were a bit premature. It sounds more like they were just getting rid of most of their current shows and possibly changing who they had licensing deals with. Moving towards having their own, homegrown IPs and a few IPs that are, well, way cheaper to license than DC characters
