It looks like it’s back to business as usual for The CW’s Fall 2021-2022 season.

The network has set its premiere dates for the beginning in October (instead of January, which was what they did this past season, as a result of pandemic-related production shutdowns). It all begins with the return of the long-running Penn & Teller: Fool Us on Friday, October 1, and continues with the net’s first-ever Saturday primetime programming with the iHeartRadio Musical Festival (airing before the regularly scheduled Whose Line Is It Anyway? and World’s Funniest Animals).

And our favorite sudsy TV dramas kick off with Nancy Drew‘s return and move to Fridays on October 8. The Flash and Riverdale will also be getting five-episode events starting on Tuesday, November 16.

As a reminder, new series spinoff All American: Homecoming and the comic-based Naomi are being held for the midseason along with the returning CharmedDC’s StargirlDynastyIn the DarkKung FuRoswell, New Mexico, and Superman & Lois.
