Ava DuVernay’s “Naomi” and a spinoff of “All American” have both been ordered to series at The CW.
Also at the network, the live-action “Powerpuff” pilot is being reworked and repiloted off-cycle, with the cast and writers all remaining with the project. Additionally, the “Nancy Drew” spinoff “Tom Swift” is still under consideration for a series order. No pilot was shot for the potential series, though the title character was introduced in an episode of “Nancy Drew” this season.
DuVernay’s “Naomi” is based on the DC Comics character of the same name from Brian Michael Bendis, David F. Walker and illustrator Jamal Campbell. Kaci Walfall stars as the titular hero, an “effortlessly cool and confident high school student” who discovers she has the ability to travel across the multiverse.

Who doesn t love a good college drama? âAll Americanâ has won hearts with a pinch of love, friendship and familial ties in every episode of The CW show that leans into the world of football and intertwines with a passion for music. If the chatter in gossip mills is to be believed, the beloved series may soon get its very own spin-off show. Unbelievable? Well, it s true.
The network has spread the word that it may be eyeing its next franchise opportunity. Back in December 2020, TVLine reported that an offshoot football-themed drama may be in its early stages. Guess which character from the show would be at its center? Geffri Maya s Simone Hicks, who is going through a pregnancy in the show, will have a fascinating tale sewn as she attends a historically Black college.
