      The CW has placed series orders for “Batwoman,” “Riverdale” spinoff “Katy Keene” and a new take on “Nancy Drew.”Meanwhile, a series order of “Glamorous” is still in contention, with a decision to come at a later time. However, the network opted not to go forward with the current pilot of “The Lost Boys” and is planning to reshoot it. The CW has passed on the pilot for “Jane the Virgin” spinoff “Jane the Novella,” according to a person with knowledge of the situation.Based on the characters from DC, “Batwoman” is written by Caroline Dries, who executive produces with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns, David Nutter, and director Marcos Siega.Per the network: Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane (star Ruby Rose) soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”Also Read: Priscilla Quintana to Lead the CW's 'Pandora', Rest of Cast Set“Katy Keene,” a spinoff from the CW’s popular series “Riverdale,” star Ashleigh Murray as an older version of her character from the Archie Comics high school drama.
