"The CW's lineup is packed with bold, binge-worthy programming - from the intrigue of 'Sherlock & Daughter' to the competition of 'WWE NXT' to the long-running magic series 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us,'" said Lisa Holme, Head of Content, Roku Media. "Starting this fall, Roku viewers will be able to stream it the very next day, along with hundreds of hours of library seasons to catch up on.
