The CW Network will launch its 2015-16 season in October, featuring the sophomore debuts of the network's highest-rated series The Flash and the award-winning and critically acclaimed comedy Jane the Virgin, as well as the series premiere of its freshman comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

The CW's most-watched series ever, The Flash, returns for its second season Tuesday, October 6 (8:00-9:00pm ET), followed by the brainy zom-com iZombie (9:00-10:00pm ET). Wednesday nights are action-packed, with the fourth season of Arrow bowing Wednesday, October 7 (8:00-9:00pm ET), followed by the demon-hunting Winchester brothers in Supernatural (9:00-10:00pm ET).

Royalty returns on Friday, October 9 with Reign (8:00-9:00pm ET) on a new night, followed by Cycle 22 of America's Next Top Model (9:00-10:00PM ET). America's Next Top Model moves from Wednesdays to Fridays beginning October 2. The new one-hour comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, starring Rachel Bloom as an unhappy lawyer who quits her job and moves across the country in search of love, with her inner monologue providing irreverent musical interludes, premieres Monday, October 19 (8:00-9:00pm ET), followed by AFI and Peabody Award winning series Jane the Virgin, starring Golden Globe-winner Gina Rodriguez, returning at 9:00-10:00pm ET.
USA Network announced a second season pickup of the captivating one-hour original drama series Mr. Robot, ahead of the series premiere last night at 10/9c. This buzzy breakout series has already received significant critical acclaim, prestigious industry honors and has garnered nearly 3 million views in its unprecedented pre-linear launch across a wide array of digital platforms. The second season, which will include a minimum of 10 episodes, will air in 2016. Mr. Robot follows Elliot (Rami Malek), a young programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and as a vigilante hacker by night. Elliot finds himself at a crossroads when the mysterious leader (Christian Slater) of an underground hacker group recruits him to destroy the firm he is paid to protect. Compelled by his personal beliefs, Elliot struggles to resist the chance to take down the multinational CEOs he believes are running (and ruining) the world. The series also stars Portia Doubleday (Her), Carly Chaikin (Suburgatory) and Martin Wallstrom (Simple Simon).
