The CW orders ‘The Flash’, ‘Jane the Virgin’, ‘iZombie’ and ‘The Messengers’

The CW has announced which series viewers can expect on their screen upcoming season. ‘The Flash’, ‘Jane the Virgin’, ‘iZombie’ and ‘The Messengers’ are the lucky ones. The unlucky ones are drama series ‘Identity’ and the spin-off 'Supernatural: Bloodlines'. The backdoor episode of 'Supernatural: Bloodlines' was not received very well by the viewers and that is probably the reason that The CW did not take the series in production. But of six pilots that were under consideration with the network four were taking in production, and that is a nice number.
