In the no-brainer category today, word has come down from The CW that they’ll be picking up the full 22 episode season for Arrow. The series opened with the best numbers that the network has had in three years and the second episode held its own quite well. The first episode drew in 4.14 million viewers and the network is strong on the DVR side as well as its partnership with Hulu for digital distribution. The second episode kept its ratings, the only one of the season to do that in the adults 18-34 and adults 18-49 category. “Our strategy of rolling out our new fall schedule later in the year really paid off for The CW on several levels, especially with Arrow“, said CW president Mark Pedowitz.
