The CW fall premiere dates: Swamp Thing, Devils, and more

The CW has set its fall 2020 premiere dates. It’s a very different fall to normal but includes Swamp Thing, Supernatural, Devils, and more.

It’s going to be a very different fall to what we’re used to. The good news is The CW has released its fall 2020 premiere dates. While the shows are unusual, the dates are the same.

The CW was one of the first networks to release its fall plan. Like FOX, it opted for a pandemic-proof lineup, pushing back some of its summer shows and gaining some international acquisitions to air in the fall. The usual fall lineup is being pushed to January 2021.

Supernatural is the only usual suspect in the lineup, which will premiere on Oct. 8, 2020. It will be followed by the fantasy series The Outpost, which will premiere its third season.

Swamp Thing is getting its first outing on network TV after initially debuting on DC Universe. The show didn’t grab a second season, but that could change if it proves to be successful after its run on The CW. Swamp Thing will start with a 90-minute premiere, but the following week will stick to its hour-long slot.

There is also some hope that Tell Me a Story will get picked up for a third season once the first two seasons have finished their run on the network.

Then there is the second season of Coronerw, which will premiere to U.S. audiences on Oct. 7, following new series Devils starring Patrick Dempsey. It’s certainly set up as an interesting fall that’s packed with promising content.
