‘Gotham Knights’ Canceled at The CW; ‘Superman & Lois,’ ‘All American: Homecoming’ Renewed

Its curtains for Gotham Knights at The CW. The network will not move forward with a second season of the DC series, Variety has learned.

The series was absent from a statement of upcoming programming from the CW, which announced renewals of both Superman Lois and All American: Homecoming for the 2023-2024 broadcast season.

The news about the future of Gotham Knights comes more than two weeks ahead of the date that the series is slated to air what would now be its series finale. The program premiered on March 4 and was set to conclude its 13-episode first season on June 27.

From Warner Bros. Television, Gotham Knights follows Bruce Waynes rebellious adopted son, who forms a team with the children of Batmans enemies. Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux and Natalie Abrams co-created the series and served as executive producers alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden of Berlanti Productions.

Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Todd Helbing, Sarah Schechter, Brent Fletcher and Geoff Johns.
