"It's clear that viewers are as excited to have Whose Line back on the air as we are," said CW President Mark Pedowitz said Monday in a statement. "We have wanted to bring comedy back to The CW for a long time, and Aisha [Tyler], Wayne [Brady], Colin [Mochrie] and Ryan [Stiles] have brought funny to the network in a big way. We're very excited to have them back for another season."
A premiere date will be announced at a later date.
