New CW Deal Will Allow Netflix Users To Watch Full Seasons 8 Days After a Show's Finale

The CW and Netflix just closed a deal that will allow users to watch their favorite shows much sooner than they could before. Variety reports that now you'll be able to watch your favorite CW shows on Netflix up to eight days after the show's season finale. This means Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash, and the like will all be available to watch in full just over a week after their seasons end. This also includes the new Archie spin-off Riverdale, which starts up this fall.

Ultimately, this is awesome news in the wake of CBS (who owns The CW) making a big push towards its own streaming platform. I was afraid for a minute that I would lose the CW shows on my Netflix queue! It's good to see the two are still working together.
