Will Katy Keene Be Renewed for Season 2 at The CW?
Are we saying goodbye to Katy and friends forever? Dedicated fans are hoping that isn’t the case, but it’s hard to ignore that Katy Keene is one of the only current CW shows that hasn’t gotten a yay or nay in terms of season 2.
It’s unsettling to those who have adored the first season and want more of Katy’s adventures with her besties Jorge Lopez, Pepper Smith, and Josie McCoy.
The CW told Deadline it’s waiting a “few weeks” to make a decision because they hope streaming numbers will add on to “soft” linear ratings.
This will reportedly include streaming numbers from The CW’s online platform and views from HBO Max, which will begin airing the show at the end of the month.
The Lucy Hale-fronted drama is a spinoff of Riverdale and has been featuring plenty of fun crossovers, the likelihood that a renewal is coming is high. It’s also The CW’s fanciest offerings, though that doesn’t necessarily means it low on drama. The world of fashion can be very brutal and pushes Katy out of her comfort zone on plenty of occasions.
The series, which draws comparisons to Gossip Girl and The Carrie Diaries, aired 13 episodes in season 1.
If it does score a renewal, the series will likely be pushed to the spring 2021 lineup or even the fall 2021-2022 lineup. The CW just announced its fall 2020-2021 lineup which bypassed many of their scripted prime offerings due to coronavirus shutting down production indefinitely.
Instead, the network will rely on the final season of Supernatural, which was finalized prior to the pandemic, and newly acquired series such as DC’s Swamp Thing and CBS All Access’ Tell Me a Story.
Shows like Riverdale, Nancy Drew, Batwoman, and Legacies, are being pushed back to a January 2021 premiere.
Mandatory meeting in the fashion closet.
The Bold Type previously announced that its fifth season will be its last, and now, we have a premiere date!
Freeform announced the series will return on Wednesday, May 26!
Chill the champagne. Your May 26th is officially booked.

Per the synopsis, Kat, Jane, and Sutton are “on the brink of defining who they really are and how best to leave their mark on the world.”
Season 4 ended prematurely on July 16, 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As a refresher, the season ended with Sutton and Richard splitting, Kat hooking up with Eva despite the two sharing significantly different political views and then calling things off, and Jane challenging Jacqueline on a controversial story that involved her husband while also possibly crushing on one of her writers.
The upcoming final season will be miniature in size as it will only feature six episodes.
Younger is ready to turn the final page!
Ahead of the seventh and final season, Paramount+ released a lengthy two-minute trailer that gives fans a glimpse of how it all ends.
The clip opens with a flashback to Charles (Peter Hermann) asking Liza (Sutton Foster) to marry him during the season 6 finale.
But, of course, it’s unclear if Liza accepted the proposal as the next scene finds her ex, Josh (Nico Tortorella), and her friend, Lauren (Molly Kate Bernard), wondering if she said yes.
News of the possible engagement spreads fast as Liza’s bestie, Kelsey (Hilary Duff), informs her that she “just heard the news,” while her other bestie, Maggie (Debi Mazar), laments that she’s “impressed” with Charles.
However, Liza doesn’t seem to think the proposal was all that romantic, which leads me to believe that maybe the couple isn’t headed down the aisle anytime soon.
Especially because the rest of the trailer seems to show trouble in paradise!
And this time, it may not be Josh’s fault… though, one scene does show him asking Liza: “if I would have said something sooner, would it have made a difference?”
Liza’s always struggled to choose between Charles and Josh, however, there may be a new man taking up residence in Liza’s life: surf legend Kai Manning, who is shopping a book at Empirical/Millennial.
And while there’s a scene of Liza and Charles kissing underneath the fireworks, there’s also some tension as he informs her that he “had to bend a lot” to be with her.
Tension also builds as it looks like Quinn is moving in on Liza’s man and Charles may be entertaining the idea!
New relationships seem to be on the horizon as Josh is spotted with a new woman by his side as his baby momma, Claire, returns.
Maggie is also smitten with a woman named Camila.
And elsewhere, Kelsey contemplates her future asking Lauren if she should “go back to Millennial,” before informing Quinn of her decision, which the billionaire calls “running home to daddy.”
It’s the beginning of the end for Liza, Kelsey, and Empirical!
Paramount Plus announced that the seventh and final season of Younger will premiere on Thursday, April 15!
The first four episodes will be available for streaming on that day.
The final eight episodes will be released on a weekly basis every Thursday.
Those who don’t have access to Paramount Plus will be able to see the full season later in the year on TV Land.
It was also announced that Miriam Shor (the impeccable Diana Trout) and Charles Michael Davis (Zane Anders) will no longer be series regulars.
Per TV Line, the duo will be back in a recurring capacity.
“Due to scheduling and Covid related matters, Miriam Shor and Charles Michael Davis were unable to be season seven cast regulars,” series creator Darren Star said in a statement to the news outlet.
“However, they will always be a much loved and integral part of the Younger family and have added so much heart and soul to the series.”
Production for the final season was delayed significantly due to the coronavirus pandemic.
