The CW is an interesting place to watch this Spring, with the addition of Sunday to their line up that is an extra 2 hours a week and given their more modern style of programming they could look to add up to 6 shows, it may come down to how the 100 and iZombie do, as both are too close to call heading into The Upfronts. The Charmed reboot has been a favorite since day one and continues to make a strong case to be picked up. A couple other favorites include Berlanti's untitled April Blair drama and Julie Plec's Roswell reboot and there is a battle of the spin-offs going on between Supernatural's Wayward Sisters and the being worked on Originals Spinoff, which didn't have a pilot order but was apparently pitched and liked well enough by The CW to be put into contention.
In the Dark has had to deal with some behind the scenes issues which are making things look dim for that pilot.
