After canceling several of their long-running shows, including DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman, The CW seemingly wants to reshape the content they’re offering on their network. Superman & Lois and The Flash are the only DC shows on the network that are guaranteed to return next season, and Stargirl’s fate is still unknown, but everything else from DC that aired on The CW has had to bite the dust.

Still, The CW isn’t planning to stop with the DC content, and last night we got a confirmation that the Gotham Knights TV series has been officially picked up. The series was initially ordered earlier this year, and the pilot was filmed in March and April. The CW was seemingly pleased with the pilot and now the series is set to premiere next season. The CW also picked Walker: Independence, the Walker spin-off series starring Matt Barr and Arrow’s Katherine McNamara, and The Winchesters, the Supernatural spin-off series as well.

Gotham Knights TV series will not be a part of the CW’s Arrowverse canon. The series will follow a team of superheroes who will need to defend Gotham City after Batman’s alleged death. You can check the synopsis down below.

“In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. And as the city’s most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it’s ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors known as the Gotham Knights.” — Gotham Knights TV series, official synopsis

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
