The CW again has given an early renewal to the bulk of its lineup, picking up all returning series on its fall schedule for the 2018-19 season as well as freshmen

(Season 4) for what could be the praised duo’s final seasons.

 star Gina Rodriguez last month referred to then-potential Season 5  as  “our final season,” while

star/co-creator Rachel Bloom tweeted today, “Just found out that

CrazyExGirlfriend has been renewed for a final season.” While the two Golden Globe-winning series are expected to wrap their runs, the CW did not announce end dates for them today.

But the reboot of the classic 1980s soap has a lucrative distribution deal with Netflix for CBS TV Studios, whose parent CBS co-owns the CW. Additionally, the CW brass hope that the arrival of Nicollette Sheridan as Alexis Carrington would provide the spark that Joan Collins delivered when she joined the original series as Alexis in Season 2. Sheridan’s first episode recently posted a small viewership uptick.
