The CW Orders Full Seasons of The Flash, Jane the Virgin

Like the main character of one of its two new shows, The CW has acted very quickly in dubbing The Flash and Jane the Virgin a success:

After two episodes of each, the network granted full-season orders to both of its fall debuts.

The Flash Season 1 Episode 1 was the most-watched hour of CW television since The Vampire Diaries opener in 2009.

Jane the Virgin, meanwhile, actually built upon its premiere audience last night with Jane the Virgin Season 1 Episode 2.

"We have had a fantastic start to our season this year, with The Flash launching as our most-watched series premiere ever, and Jane the Virgin recognized as the best new show this season by critics across the country,” network president Mark Pedowitz said in a statement.

"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."

Both of these shows have been very well reviewed by critics and both are covered in depth each week on TV Fanatic. Won't you bookmark us and join us for recaps, reviews, quotes, Round Tables and so much more?
