Of the network’s other current series, this only leaves the fate of Hart of Dixie up in the air. Season three of Beauty and the Beast doesn’t have a start date yet but it’s looking like it will have a summer run.
Here’s the press release:
THE CW PICKS UP EIGHT OF ITS CURRENT SERIES FOR 2015-2016 SEASON

What do you think? Which of these shows do you think you’ll be watching next season? Do you think any of them should have been cancelled instead?

If you take off vampire diaries I can function properly and why in the world did you take off Elena. That was such a horrible idea now your ratings will drop. I will continue to watch to see what they will come up with.
I meant can’t function properly*
I doubt they’d take Elena off, the show is mostly centered around her. I’m sure she’ll be back
It hurts me to watch this show. I loved Mary & Francis love. They had a deep love & I loved watching them. Please, please bring them back together. Thank you!
I do hope they keep Reign. Glad to see it will have a 3rd season. I really do enjoy this show.
I do hope they keep Reign. Glad to see it will have a 3rd season.
Apparently, first-run episodes with 850,000 viewers isn’t low enough for CW…
The self-destruction of CW continues…
I’m so ecstatic that they renewed supernatural for another season making it season 11!!! So glad that’s practically they only show I watch on the cw.! love it !! Can’t get enough of supernatural need it!!!!
Me too!
I am sooooo glad too that we’re getting Season 11. There’s so much that can be done with that series whether it’s monster of the week, some recurring monster or the main story arc. So much! I love this show!
Glad to see The 100 and Arrow were renewed will be watching when they pick up. However, will be missing series Star Crossed
I agree about Arrow. It is a must-see series as it has become more and more detailed and intricate. You never know from week to week what will happen. Very creative to weave the past with the present. LOVE IT
Glad to see this show Renewed for a third season!!! Also happy to see the other CW shows Renewed!!!!
Glad flash and especially supernatural are coming back. Don’t know about other ones.
Definitely will be watching the new series of The 100 – Love that show.
supernatural is my favorite been watching since day one it only gets better amazing to watch the characters grow in the show….well done
I have long been a great fan of the CW TV evening programming! Programs like ARROW, THE FLASH, SUPERNATURAL, THE 100, REIGN, etc. really have managed to have captured my interest and avid following. I hope the CW TV network continues to run these programs on their airtime. I would also like to encourage the CW network to consider picking up LOOKING, the HBO program that was recently canceled. That show also piqued my interest and hope that a network like CW might appreciate its true worth/value.
Too bad for CW that those “fans of CW evening programming” are so very few…
Sorry you feel that way . . . especially the programming idiocy, reality TV and sitcoms are just not my evening fare. Prefer imaginative story telling with good acting and interesting/engaging characters. TV is an escape. I hardly need to be plunged again and again to the soppiness and artificiality of programming that neither engages my imagination nor has any characters that I can possibly find some mutuality of emotional identification.
It’s not a matter of “feeling”. It’s a matter of looking at the numbers.
It’s great if you like those low-rated shows. At least somebody does… 🙂
I don’t get, however, how the fact that there’s bad reality shows out there would make low-rated scripted shows any higher rated…
Agreed!
Glad arrow is coming back really like that show
Me too!
Glad that Reign will be around for Season 3. Really am enjoying that show.
Some of the characters in REIGN, Francis, Sebastian, Mary, etc. are interesting and well acted. Looking forward to season 3.
