Fortunately, we live in a time when it’s easy to catch up on your favorite series by streaming episodes the next day or all at once. But if you’re one of those people who likes to watch each episode as it airs, then missing one may sting a little. Knowing that, we realize it’s hard to keep up with the finales and returns of your beloved shows on The CW, so here’s a list of their 2020 premiere dates so you can plan your schedule accordingly.
