2017 Arrowverse Crossover
During CW’S Upfront presentation last week, the network announced its plans for another mega Arrowverse crossover episode between the 4 Vancouver-filmed DCTV series: Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl. The announcement wasn’t a surprise given that this season’s Arrowverse crossover event landed the network its most-watched week over the past 6 years. According to Deadline.com, the network revealed that this season’s Arrowverse crossover would land in November and will be another 4 night event. It was previously announced that Supergirl’s episode would be more engrained in the event, unlike this year’s version which saw merely a minute cast crossover at the end.

Supernatural Meets Scooby-Doo
If you asked me before which one of the Vancouver-filmed CW series would get a Scooby-Doo animated episode, I would have guessed Riverdale. But the Scooby Gang’s experience with ‘supernatural’ creatures makes it a good fit too. The animated episode which was announced during this week’s CW Upfronts presentation will appear during the upcoming 13th season of Supernatural. Of course, there will be an appearance of the Great Dane himself, alongside the regular Supernatural cast who will be playing animated versions of themselves.
I was interested to see what people thought about this idea; here’s what Twitter had to say:
