New shows from The CW starting from the 2019-2020 TV season and onwards will no longer automatically come to Netflix as The CW did not renew their deal with the streaming giant. In 2011 The CW signed a deal with Netflix to be able to stream new shows such as “The Flash”, “Arrow”, “Jane the Virgin” and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” just 8 days after their season finale airs. Netflix also co-produced the hit shows “Riverdale” and “Dynasty” which is marketed as a Netflix Original outside of North America with new episodes being added on a weekly basis – Netflix will retain the subscription streaming rights to these shows.
It is important to note that existing shows are not affected by this change – i.e. the shows mentioned above won’t all suddenly be removed any time soon. The changes only affect new shows that premiere in the 2019-2020 TV season and Netflix will still be able to bid for the streaming rights for upcoming shows like the “Nancy Drew” and “Katy Keene” series; it just won’t be an automatic process.

Apart from Riverdale I don’t think I’ve seen any cw shows on there anyway, guessing the flash etc wasn’t available to the UK :/
Sky have The flash in the UK, so you can maybe catch it on Now TV? Honestly though, I wouldn’t bother,
At least it won’t effect the Coproduced shows for International.
The Flash isn’t and has never been on UK Netflix. You might want to update that article. The Arrow isn’t available either!
The CW doesn’t produce anything I like so you see my face? It’s my not bothered face.
Does this affect the UK with Riverdale?
No. The article said it doesn’t affect existing deals and Netflix co-produce Riverdale.
Nooooooooo
Yeah, none of the CW superhero shows ever made it to UK netflix, think NowTV (via Sky) got exclusivity on them somehow…
That sucks
Australia only has arrow on Netflix anyway.
Callum Wagstaffe we’ve fucked it for season 4
