ABC isn't the only network handing out renewals like Oprah on free car day. 

Months ahead of the annual network Upfronts, The CW has just renewed 11 of its current series for new seasons.

“The CW has become home to some of the most critically-acclaimed shows on broadcast television, with a wide array of fantastic scripted series across the week, ranging from musical comedy, to superhero action, to gritty sci-fi dramas,” said CW president Mark Pedowitz in a statement. 

"As we continue to further our strategy of more year-round original programming, picking up these 11 series for the 2016-2017 season puts us in a great position of having proven, high-quality shows to launch in the fall as well as midseason and summer of 2017.”

The only scripted show missing from this announcement is the upcoming virus outbreak drama Containment, which has not yet premiered.

This mass renewal is becoming something of a tradition for The CW, which has had a steady slate for the past few years -- anchored by veterans like Supernatural and Vampire Diaries
