The CW is holding their high profile new Archie comics-based series Riverdale (also from Berlanti) for midseason. With only ten timeslots to program, the CW have quite a deep bench of midseason series this year. Also coming later are new seasons of The 100, iZombie, The Originals and Reign.
In a conference call on Thursday morning, network president Mark Pedowitz spoke of his decision to hold the show until midseason, telling reporters, “We have a very strong schedule. We still believe quite a bit in The Originals. We only have 10 hours, so we made a choice to [hold it] to further boost our schedule at midseason.”
The new swim line will be available in August. Previously, Phoebe was the face Matteau Swim’s 2015 line which is currently available for purchase here.
