The CW is renewing three of the shows it shoots in Atlanta: “Black Lightning,” “Legacies” and “Dynasty.”

It also renewed “Arrow,” “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” “Charmed,” “The Flash,” “Riverdale,” “Supergirl” and the 15th season of “Supernatural.”

This will be the third season for both “Black Lightning” and “Dynasty” and a second season for the “Vampire Diaries” spin-off “Legacies.”

One conspicuous absence: “All American.” Two other shows have already announced their pending departures: “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Jane the Virgin.”

It’s probably a little early for “Roswell, New Mexico” and the next season of “The 100” doesn’t start until April.
