CW Picks Up Full Season of The Flash

The Flash Continues DC's TV Winning Streak

Today, CW President Mark Pedowitz's press release revealed that the network will be ordering an extra nine episodes of The Flash for a full season run totaling 22 episodes.



The press release reads:

"We have had a fantastic start to our season this year, with THE FLASH launching as our most-watched series première ever, and JANE THE VIRGIN recognized as the best new show this season by critics across the country. Over the past three seasons, we have made it our mission to grow and to broaden out our audience, and to keep raising the bar with the quality and impact of our new shows, and THE FLASH and JANE have both exceeded our expectations on all counts. I'm thrilled to announce full season orders for both of these terrific new series."

While Marvel may have the heavyweight championship title at the box office, DC seems to know what they are doing when it comes to the small screen. With Arrow in its third season, Gotham winning ratings over at Fox, and now a full season of The Flash, DC is definitely doing something right. And that's not to mention, we still have Constantine to première on NBC next week, and a Supergirl show is also in the works from the show runners of Arrow and The Flash.

The Flash airs Tuesdays on CW.
