The CW has announced premiere dates for its fall schedule, on the heels of announcements by NBC and Fox earlier this week. Once again the network will wait until October and follow a staggered release plan.
Kicking things off on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8/7c will be the third season of The Flash,which will be followed by the series premiere of the new hourlong comedy No Tomorrow starring Galavant's Joshua Sasse as a man who believes the end of the world is imminent and teaches Tori Anderson's Evie to seize the day.
On Wednesday, Oct. 5, Arrow will return for its fifth season ahead of the series debut of Frequency, a remake of the 2000 film of the same name starring CW alum Peyton List. The following week, on Monday, Oct. 10, Supergirl will make her anticipated C-Dubs debut at 8 p.m. before leading into an encore presentation of No Tomorrow. A week later, Jane The Virginwill return for Season 3 and reveal Michael's fate.

Meanwhile, the second season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow will debut Thursday, Oct. 13 followed by the twelfth (yes, twelfth) season of the Winchesters saving people and hunting things on Supernatural at 9 p.m. The Brothers Salvatore of The Vampire Diaries will then embark on their eighth season beginning Friday, Oct. 21 ahead of the sophomore season debut of the low-rated but critically adored musical comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
And in non-scripted fare, the network will also once again air the four-hour iHeartRadio Music Festival over two nights beginning Thursday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m.
Returning series iZombie, The 100, The Originals and Reign will all return at midseason alongside freshman drama Riverdale.
