The CW Network recently rolled out its new midseason schedule with series debuts and season premieres throughout the winter and into the spring, including the new drama from Oscar nominee/Emmy winner Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship (Arrow), Naomi, starring Kaci Walfall (Army Wives, Power, The Lion King on Broadway) in the title role.
Naomi follows the journey of a cool, confident, comic book–loving teenager as she pursues her hidden destiny. When a supernatural event shakes her small hometown of Port Oswego, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins, with a little help from her fiercely loyal best friend Annabelle (Mary-Charles Jones, Kevin Can Wait). She also has the support of her adoptive, doting parents, veteran military officer Greg (Barry Watson, 7th Heaven, The Loudest Voice) and linguist Jennifer (Mouzam Makkar, The Fix). After an encounter with Zumbado (Cranston Johnson, Filthy Rich), the mysterious owner of a used car lot, leaves her shaken, Naomi turns to tattoo shop owner Dee (Alexander Wraith, Orange Is the New Black), who becomes her reluctant mentor. While unraveling the mystery of herself, Naomi also navigates her high school friendships with both military kids and local townies, including ex-boyfriend and high school jock Nathan (Daniel Puig, The System); Annabelle’s longtime, loyal boyfriend Jacob (Aidan Gemme, Deliver Us From Evil); proud “townie” Anthony (Will Meyers, Bad Education); and fellow comic book enthusiast Lourdes (newcomer Camila Moreno). As Naomi journeys to the heights of the Multiverse in search of answers, what she discovers will challenge everything we believe about our heroes.
Based on the characters from DC, Naomi is written and executive produced by Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship, and executive produced by Paul Garnes of ARRAY Filmworks. Amanda Marsalis (Echo Park, Queen Sugar) directed and co-executive produced the pilot episode. The series is from ARRAY Filmworks in association with Warner Bros. Television.
The CW will premier Naomi on Tuesday January 11, 2022 (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT) following the second season premier of Superman & Lois (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT).
Other series premiering as part of The CW’s midseason slate include
The hit series All American returns with original episodes on Monday, February 21 (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT) followed by series premiere of the next chapter in the All American saga, All American: Homecoming (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT). The new young adult sports drama is set against the backdrop of the HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) experience at Bringston University. The series follows Simone (Geffri Maya, All American), a young tennis hopeful from Beverly Hills who is trying to fight her way back to great after some time away from the court, and Damon (Peyton Alex Smith, Legacies), an elite baseball player from Chicago who is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Both Riverdale and The Flash will return in March on brand new nights. Riverdale will make the move to Sundays, starting on March 6 (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT), while The Flash moves to Wednesdays, returning on March 9 (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT) followed by the second season premiere of The CW’s action-packed hit series Kung Fu (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT).
