Except for The CW, nobody seems interested in making new superhero TV if it's not going to a streaming service. CW has enough of a steady audience who are willing to catch their comic book shows each week. Not just their DC ones but 'Riverdale' also, so it seems ABC has already tried and failed to tap into that market (with 'Agent Carter' and 'Inhumans' getting canned, and 'Most Wanted' being shelved).

I do wonder though if Freeform are planning on expanding their end after 'Cloak & Dagger' was a hit both with its reception and ratings. The big difference being of course Freeform being cable, while CW is broadcast, and cable is being replaced by streaming for paid shows.
