While The CW cancelled several big series, such as Legacies and The Winchesters, it opted to save one show previously axed from a different network.
The CW has saved a show that another network has cancelled, even though it is cancelling most of its own original programming. Under Nexstar's new leadership , the channel has moved away from its reputation as a teen drama haven. Instead, The CW has favored acquiring low-cost series outside the U.S. and sports content like golf. As a direct consequence of these changes, shows like The Winchesters and Legacies have been axed.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT According to Deadline, The CW has opted to save 61st Street season 2. The legal drama, which stars Courtney B. Vance and Aunjanue Ellis, was cancelled by AMC in January 2023 as part of a cost-saving move. Both seasons will now air on The CW in partnership with AMC. The first installment will air in the fall, and season 2 is planned to debut in 2024. Although 61st Street season 2 has yet to premiere anywhere, it has already been filmed.
Part of this change to acquire low-cost programming and sports is an attempt by Nexstar to make the network profitable. But it's also a reflection that the average CW viewer, who watches the channel on TV rather than through streaming, is much older than its teen-focused soaps and young adult superhero sags might suggest. It could be the case that 61st Street appeals more immediately to the older viewership Nexstar hopes to attract.
In 61st Street season 1, the legal drama told the story of Moses Johnson , a promising Black high school athlete who is swept up into the infamously corrupt Chicago criminal justice system and is defended in a trial by Vance's character. Vance, a two-time Emmy winner, said in a statement that he believes the new network home will help 61st Street, saying, "I’m confident that we will engage a universe of viewers who will celebrate the series with us.
