Rachel Bloom All those things you hear about networks trying to stifle creativity – CW lets creators create and gives us freedom. – Rachel Bloom
Melissa Benoist There are younger people watching CBS, but their audience isn’t 13 to 25. The CW specializes in that. – Melissa Benoist
Maggie Q The CW is a very fashion-oriented network and they like their stars to look a certain way. I like that, but at the same time, I need Nikita to be toned down a bit. You can’t draw too much attention to Nikita because she’s an assassin. – Maggie Q
Julie Plec I think the model of The CW Network is really built on the fan platform more than anything else. The success or longevity of a series has less to do with the number it’s pulling and more to do with the social footprint… There is a lot about the fan support on a strictly business level that’s really powerful for that network. – Julie Plec
Franz Drameh There is a very diverse range of superheroes, especially with the Firestorm character. In the comics, there is a black Firestorm. But we still don’t see that many black superheroes. So what The CW is doing and what DC Comics is doing with this whole universe with diversity is absolutely amazing. – Franz Drameh
Erich Bergen I love working in television, and I’ve been thrilled to be a part of so many wonderful shows. I worked with Lady Gaga on ‘Gossip Girl,’ and the brilliant Felicity Huffman on ‘Desperate Housewives,’ but I think my favorite TV job so far was the pilot I shot for the CW Network this year called ‘Joey Dakota.’ – Erich Bergen
