The CW Orders BATWOMAN, KATY KEENE, and NANCY DREW to Series

The CW has ordered three pilots to series: BATWOMAN, KATY KEENE, and NANCY DREW.

BATWOMAN was introduced during the 2018 ARROWverse crossover, with Ruby Rose portraying Kate Kane/Batwoman. The KATY KEENE pickup also means that Josie McCoy (played by Ashleigh Murray) will stay off of RIVERDALE.

Here’s more info on the trio of shows from The CW…
