Fans of The CW Network can continue to turn to Netflix to get their fill of the network’s programming, thanks to a multi-year agreement announced Tuesday.
Under the deal, Netflix will be the exclusive subscription service offering previous seasons of CW shows. Starting with the 2016-17 season, full seasons of the network’s shows will be available eight days after the season finales.
Among the CW shows that will be available to Netflix customers will be “Jane the Virgin,” “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “The Vampire Diaries,” “Reign,” “Supergirl,” “Arrow,” “Flash” and the new shows “Frequency,” “No Tomorrow” and “Riverdale.”
“Since the initial landmark deal in 2011, The CW’s programming has enjoyed tremendous success and increased exposure through Netflix, and our new agreement not only continues but enhances this valuable relationship,” said Mark Pedowitz, president of The CW. “The CW has positioned itself for the future by transforming into a true hybrid network, rooted in broadcast while fully embracing the digital and streaming habits of the viewers.”
