Status
While never a huge hit based on the same day ratings numbers, this show has continued to draw high digital viewership and has done quite well in encore runs on Netflix. Since The CW has adapted better to the 21st century than the other broadcast networks, it puts as much if not more weight on these numbers as the linear ratings. And one more season will get this show over the 100 episode mark which makes it much more attractive to the syndication market, so expect it to stick around for a fifth year and possibly more. You can keep up with the ratings results and further status updates during the season at the show’s page on this site.
