In what looks to be some of the greatest news yet for The CW Network, they have announced that they will continure to air new seasons of 6 of their top shows, one of which includes our favorite drama “Gossip Girl.”
It was on Tuesday morning that Dawn Ostroff, The CW President, anounced this to the elites at Warner Bros and CBS. The network has yet to make this news public but it is said that they could be making a statement as early the afternoon.
The series which will live to see a new season include “Gossip Girl,” “Supernatural," “90210,” "Smallvile," "One Tree Hill," and “America’s Next Top Model”. Though the ratings of these shows made them the most likely to be renewed, not all of them were 100% until now.
It was also questioned if the network inself was going to live to see a new season, however it has become more clear as time has progressed that The CW is performing better than expected and picking up rating at a steady pace.
The networks past 2008-09 season has had pretty succesful rating which was marked with the creation and launch of the revamped “90210” as well as the return and grouping of “Gossip Girl” and “One Tree Hill” on Monday nights. Each of these shows displayed significant gains last season in comparison to the averages of other shows in the identical timeslots.
The CW is also beginning to make it clear that they are setting a mark in the demographic of young female tv watchers and has been very successful in doing so.
Even with 6 TV series being renewed there are still 2 holes to be filled in the The CW’s 2009-10 schedule. It has been announced that it is very likely that these two slots will be filled with a couple of shows which are at the moment in developement. One of which is a remake of “Melrose Place” and the second being related to our very favorite “Gossip Girl” being a prequel known as “Lily”. Two other projects which are also being worked on by The CW include “Vampire Diaries” and “Light Years.”
Prospects of a return however look grim for the following TV shows: “Everybody Hates Chris," “Reaper,” “The Game” and “Privileged."
