Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment at The CW, has “ambitious” goals.
As The CW moves away from only serving young adult audiences towards rivaling the Big Four broadcast networks – ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC – Schwartz knows he needs to find a hit to do that.
This, after all, is the man credited with helping Schitt’s Creek become an Emmy winning smash.
“We recognize where we’re coming from. We’re the underdogs competing against Titans. But ultimately what we’re striving for is to have everyone stop writing big four networks and start writing big five network. We know it’s going to take some time, but that’s the goal,” he said at the top of his TCA press tour presentation.
Sitting down with Deadline, former Pop TV boss Schwartz, and his boss, The CW President Dennis Miller, talked about exactly how they’re trying to do that in the face of a tumultuous time in the entertainment business, just over a year after Nexstar acquired the network.
Whereas his broadcast rivals can largely fully finance their slate of scripted dramas and comedies, he, however, needs a different way to do that.
“When it comes to scripted projects, we have to be a little scrappier, we have to look at new economic models,” Schwartz told Deadline. “I believe the future, except for the big guys, is everyone’s going to start thinking more like us as opposed to us thinking more like them.”
He highlighted the fact that Fox recently ordered Murder In A Small Town, its first scripted international co-production. “You’re starting to see, for better or worse, others doing something I’ve been doing for years,” he added.
The CW’s biggest hit returns for its sixth season on April 1. Thanks to the strikes, it will be joined midseason by Jared Padalecki’s Walk

Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from “Part 6” of “Masters of the Air,” now streaming on Apple TV+. When Major John “Bucky” Egan (Callum Turner) is marched through the front gates of the Stalag Luft III prison camp in the final moments of Part 6 of Apple TV+’s “Masters of the Air,” the last thing you’d might expect to see is a smile.

Princess Margaret's four grandchildren often fade into the background when it comes to spotlight focused on the Royal Family, and, as a result, they lead largely normal lives and only appear for the occasional national event, such as royal weddings, thanksgiving services and funerals. One of Princess Margaret’s grandsons, Charles Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley, is rarely featured in the headlines, despite being a great-nephew of the late Queen and second cousin of King Charles.
