The CW has made a number of orders for the 2021-2022 season, including a pilot order for the live-action “Powerpuff Girls” series.
In total, The CW announced three pilot orders and one straight-to-series pickup, with the latter being a reboot of the USA Network series “The 4400.” The other two pilots are for the DC project “Naomi” from Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship and an untitled religious dramedy from Claire Rothrock and Ryann Weir. All of the projects are created by women.

The network has also ordered a pilot about nuns from Jane the Virgin s Jennie Snyder Urman.
The CW is planning for the return of
The 4400.
The broadcast network has handed out a straight to series order for a remake of the sci-fi series that aired on USA from 2004-07. Additionally, The CW has ordered pilots for a live-action, grown-up
Powerpuff Girls from Diablo Cody and for projects from Ava DuVernay and
Jane the Virgin showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman.
The CW put a remake of
The 4400 in development more than two years ago. Like the original, the new version will focus on 4,400 overlooked, undervalued and marginalized people who disappeared over the past 100 years who are all returned in an instant, having not aged at all and with no idea what happened. They also discover they ve been returned with upgrades, and likely for a specific purpose.
