Renewal[]

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. 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.

–Mark Pedowitz

In pre-production of "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", co-creator's Aline Brosh McKenna and Rachel Bloom had already conceived of an overall multi-year story arc beforehand. The cliffhanger of the Season One finale "Paula Needs to Get Over Josh!" was part of this plan. On March 11, 2016 The CW president Mark Pedowitz officially announced "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and a number of other shows which were on the bubble had been renewed. It was officially announced on June 17 on Deadline.com that "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"'s second season would premiere on October 21, 2016. On May 9, 2016 the writers met to work on Season Two (source). On May 19, 2016 The CW announced its official 2016 - 2017 Fall schedule and revealed "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" was moving from Monday 8:00 PM to Friday 9:00 PM after "The Vampire Dairies".

Episode titles[]

In keeping with last years naming conventions all Season Two episodes include the word ‘Josh’ which is meant to convey Rebecca’s obsession with him. Unlike the previous season is the episode titles now end in a question mark reflecting the confusion and uncertainty Rebecca experienced at the time. In the following seasons the naming conventions of each episodes would be tweaked slightly and ultimately the name ‘Josh’ would be phased out to reflect Rebecca finally moving on.

Casting[]

On May 23, 2016 it was officially announced that actress Gabrielle Ruiz ("Valencia Perez") was promoted to series regular. On July 19, 2016 it was offcially announced that actor Parveesh Cheenah was cast in a recurring role of "Sunil" a classmate of Paula Proctor who she becomes good friends with. Rachel Bloom announced on her Instagram accont that Marc Webb would be returning to direct the Season Two premiere. On August 18, 2016, Rachel Bloom officially announced on the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Facebook page that actress Brittany Snow is going to appear in Season Two. TV Line reported that Snow will play a hipster name Anna and appear in four episodes. On September 15, 2016 it was announced by TV Line that actor Michael Foster has been cast in a major recurring role.

Songs[]

In May 2016 during a podcast with the online entertainment news site Vulture.com, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star and co-creator Rachel Bloom mentioned a new theme song was in the works for Season Two. This was to represent the new phase of Rebecca's story as she was no longer in denial about her reasons for moving to West Covina. Months later on October 16, Vulture.com exclusively premiered the new Season Two theme entitled "Just a Girl in Love".

According to the Entertainment Weekly 2016 Fall preview the songs in the Season Two premiere will be "We Should Definitely Not Have Sex Right Now" and "Love Kernels". Upcoming songs will include a parody of Beyonce's "Lemonade", a "Singing in The Rain" homage, a ballet number, a "Spice Girls" tribute, and a Disney inspired showstopper.
