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.
EVERY TIME THEY TAKE A GOOD SHOW AND CANCEL IT WE DONT REALIZED HOW GOOD THE SHOW WAS TILL THEY CANCEL IT AND TAKE IT OFF THEN WE WANT IT BACK MANY SHOWS CAME AND GONE TOO BAD I GUESS TO KEEP IT GOING U HAVE TO BE LOYAL AND KEEP WATCHING IT SO THE RATING GOES UP FOR THAT SHOW

Th Game is a really geat show. I strongly blieved that it should be aired again. I believe their are a lot of fans who are dissapoined about the show ot aiing again. Please put the Game back on.
They beed to make a other season of the game. Its obvious that people love this show. I watch re runs everyday! Need a season four.
I want to know if One Tree Hill is coming back for an 8th season?? It is my favorite show and i cant imagine it being over!!!
I just want to know if Vampire Diaries will be on another season. It is getting so good.
@Beth: It looks certain to be renewed but we won’t know for sure until next spring.
come on cw yall really got to bring the game back for at least another season for some closure. just dont let it end like dat.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THE GAME, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS YOU ALL HAVE, I AM A FAN AND USED TO GIVE UP MY FRIDAY NIGHTS JUST TO WATCH THE NEW EPISODES. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE SHOW OFF AIR, I AGREE WITH ANOTHER COMMENT MADE IF YOU CHANGED THE NIGHT THE RATINGS WILL ROCKET. BUT YOU STILL HAVE SOME HARDCORE FANS THAT WATCHED IT EVERY FRIDAY FAITHFULLY.
please dont cancel the game! i just started watching it on BET and its a great show! i didnt even know it came on CW til recently. I would definitely be a faithful viewer if this show was renewed for another season! you cant leave us in the dark! we want to know what else happens with derwin and melanie!! =)
they really need to continue it!!!!1 i want to see what happens next we dont have that many good tv shows on tv and you go and cancel our last bit of entertainment. this is not fair i bet they had over 3 million viewers!!!
I can’t believe Priviledged and The Reaper are gone. I love these shows and looked forward to watching them. I even got my husband into them. While I love the Supernatural, I will definitely NOT be tuning in to the same old crap of 90210 and others like it. Bores me to tears!
PLEASEEEEEE DONT CANCEL THE GAME I LIVE FOR THAT SHOW WE FINALLY SEE BLACK DOING SOMETHING OTHER THAN KILLING AND MEN MAKING BABIES AND LEAVING THEN AND THEN YALL WANT TO TAKE IT OFF THE AIR. OUR BLACK MEN AND BOYS NEED TO SEE POSITIVE BLACK ROLE MODELS THINGS OTHER THAN RAPPING AND PLAYING GANSTERS. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KEEP THE SHOW ON SELL IT TO SOMEONE WHO DOES STOP BEING SELFISH AND SHOW US SOME LOVE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

Wright I really think u should make it an hour spot at 8 pm. This mean a lot to a lot of fans some of the shows that u have on cw are boring I don’t know how u keep getting ratings girlfriends been on for awhile it could have aleast… Read more »
NOT ANOTHER ONE!!!!!! Everytime a great show comes out it gets cancelled just when everyone is starting to really get into it!
If networks would just listen to the fans maybe these show that are on the fence can prove to be the next big sucess story.
Giving this show an hour spot and putting it in a drama catagory is genius.
CW give this one another chance YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!!
