The network also announced renewals for Penn & Teller: Fool Us and The Chosen.
Warner Bros. TV has suspended overall deals with several high-profile producers, including Greg Berlanti, Mindy Kaling, and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot shingle, due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. This move follows previous suspensions of deals with other producers and studios.

However, once production resumes, the deals are expected to resume with the suspended time added to the end of the agreements.
Ava DuVernay has ended her overall deal with Warner Bros. Television Group, which was set to expire on May 31. The contract talks were unrelated to the ongoing writers strike.
