The CW network apparently wanted to be the first one out of the gate this year and announced that six of its TV shows will be back next season. The lucky dramas are Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, 90210, Smallville, and Supernatural. The venerable reality competition series, America’s Next Top Model, was also renewed for seasons 13 and 14.
Smallville’s ninth season comes after Warner Bros was able to sign star Tom Welling to another cycle. Two of the series’ showrunners, Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin, revitalized the action-drama this year but are expected to leave if the Melrose Place revival is ordered to series. If all goes as expected, Kelly Sounders and Brian Peterson, the two remaining showrunners, will take over.
Dawn Ostroff, CW’s entertainment president, said “As we continue to build The CW Network as a destination for young women, these six shows have clearly contributed to strengthening our schedule and our brand identity.”
While the timing of the pickups is earlier than usual, none of the renewals come as a surprise. The grouping represents the network’s strongest offerings.
Still left in the dark are shows like Privileged, The Game, Everybody Hates Chris, and Reaper. Will any of them return next season? The network is developing several possible series so the remaining shows’ chances for survival are looking quite slim.
Please do not cancel the Game ,the show is Great. I Love It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cast is Awesome ,the reality of the show is the best in Television. My baby Daddy is a professional NFL player so I no whats up!!!
The CW and the rest of the networks wants to phase out the black shows. What we view as funny or touchest home they act as though it doesn’t happen to them. They want to make a world of robot minded people who act, think, speak and look alike. All thes new shows are coming out and these little girls are doing all kinds of things with guys and sending the wrong message out to these young girls, but it is okay as long as they are watching. If the CW wanted the Game to survive they could. Promote it… Read more »
Puhlease do not cancel the game the reason why it has such low ratings is because it airs on fridays which hell everybody gone on fridays and its the only one of the two black shows left on the cw and i feel that the cw is a racist station because, it seems to me that you all put the black shows on days that it wouldnt be watched and that’s a shame because, it’s a very good show that focus’s on relationships and real relationships i might add
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THE GAME… The show is funny and it’s unquie, majortiy of the cast is African American and that is a plus. It keeps me on my toes and wanting know what is going happen next. It has that genuine feel to, maybe to keep the show runnign add new permanent characters to add more “zing” to… Now what should be cancelled is 90210. My mom use to watch that show , and that show is like a classic, a one of a kind, no remake. It’s like having a remake of Saved By The Bell… Come… Read more »

PLEASE CANCEL THE GAME. IT IS DISGUSTING AND THE HUMOR IS AWFUL!!!! SERIOUSLY IT”S LIKE YOUR GETTING STUPIDER AND SLUTTIER AFTER EACH EPISODE!!!!!!! EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS IS A GREAT SHOW AND IS ACTUALLY FUNNY UNLIKE THE GAME!
Please don’t cancel The Game. I love that show. Many of my friends and I watch that show religiously. It is a good show. It has all the right comedic plug-ins. Please, please, please renew the season. The cast is GREAT. Letting the show go would be terribly disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel the Game and everybody hates Chris. I love those shows and also enjoy Smallville and Supernatural. If at all possible though, could you try moving them to like a Monday or something. I mean it’s kinda hard catching them on Fridays after a long work week come 7:00 I’m kicked back with a cocktail in hand hanging out with friends kind of hard to catch them at that time.
Please keep The Game. As a Black- American I love watching shows were I can relate to the characters, and watch characters that look like me.
Please keep The Game. I love this show.
KEEP THE GAME IT’S AWESOME!!! I LOVE GIRL MELANIE & DERWIN!!! I LOVE THE WHOLE CREW BUT MELANIE AND DERWIN ARE MY FAVES. POOCH HALL IS SO GORGEOUS!!! KEEP THE GAME!!
DON’T CANCEL THE GAME. IT IS A EXCELLENT SHOW. GIVE IT A DECENT TIME SLOT AND STOP SHIFTING IT AROUND AND THE VIEWERS WILL BE THERE. I AGREE SMALLVILLE AND REAPER (COME ON) SHOULD BE CANCELLED!!!
THE GAME is THE BEST show CW has… I will no longer be a CW viewer. DONT LET THE GAME GO.
