The CW Is Already Teasing Its Plans For Crisis On Infinite Earths

Candyman

Tony Todd confirmed he still hasn’t been approached to appear in Jordan Peele’s Candyman remake in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly.

I know he’s a fan. We’re waiting just like the rest of the world. I’m hoping I will appear in the film in some form of fashion. Wouldn’t that make sense? But it’s Hollywood, so I won’t take it personally if for some reason it doesn’t work out.

If this new one is successful, it will shed light back on the original. I think the subject matter is more important than any individuals. And I mean that.

Star Trek: Discovery

During a presentation at the Television Critics Association conference, Alex Kurtzman revealed the show’s writing staff has already moved on to season three.

We’ve started thinking about season 3 already. We’re cutting the [season 2] finale right now. I can’t wait for you guys to see it. We’re really proud. So we have a lot of big ideas we’ve already started working on. You have to start thinking about season 3 in the middle of season 2. That’s just how I make television.

Crisis On Infinite Earths

Also speaking at the Television Critics Association, CW president Mark Pedowitz stated the upcoming Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover will take “big swings”.

It will be the biggest and most complicated [crossover yet]. That is the intent, to take some big swings. Can’t tell you if it’ll follow the comic book version, but it’ll take some big swings.

We’re talking about a number of different ways to go. It is Crisis on Infinite Earths, and if you know the history, things collapse.

Katy Keene

Pedowitz also confirmed the upcoming Katy Keene spinoff series won’t be crossing over with Riverdale.

Katy Keene takes places years after Riverdale High School. There are no plans to do anything [regarding a crossover]. Any of the Riverdale characters who come to Katy Keene will be older. Robert [Aguirre-Sacasa] is getting the pilot right.
