CW Orders Additional Episodes of Supernatural, Gossip Girl, NIkita and 90210

3 Aug 2011

Share on Reddit
The CW is looking to beat the midseason rerun blues by supersizing the orders of four returning drama series. The network has picked up two additional episodes each of soaps Gossip Girl and 90210, bringing their orders to 24 episodes, and one additional episode each of veteran Supernatural and sophomore Nikita, which will go up to 23 episodes each. Notably missing is CW's flagship drama, The Vampire Diaries.

    I certainly wouldn't call The Vampire Diaries the CW's "flagship drama."

    This is good news, but me thinks One Tree Hill should have more episodes.. Right now it's only 13 episode season order..

    Less repeats are always a good thing, especially on The CW where the mid-season breaks are excruciatingly long.

    So... someone wanna explain to me why Supernatural didn't get 24 episodes?
    I couldn't imagine sitting through 22 Gossip Girls... let alone 24....

    This is certainly the best part of Supernatural's extra episode :P

  16. Bruce_F3 August 2011 at 22:33

    Well, in all fairness, that is the network's core demo.  I still can't believe that The CW is happy with the overall viewer decline.  Maybe the new head honcho has a different game plan in mind?

  17. Lunaticbabe3 August 2011 at 22:34

    Great for those shows, and I guess that people who watch more than one CW show might be less likely to go into midseason induced comas if it isn't all the shows that evaporate for the entire period. 

    At first I thought TVD might have been left out due to the extra work that I assume is involved in creating the otherworldly elements. But that doesn't make sense what with SPN getting an extra episode.

  18. Luke James Farmer3 August 2011 at 22:34

    Maybe the writers for Supernatural don't want to find a way to extend the season beyond what they wanted? Just a guess.

    Could be for the actors too. Just a guess too, since it's rare to find a serie where they only have 2 leads who work impossible hours, every day. 22 is already hard, 23 should be enough for J&J

    Oh, I wasn't saying it was bad. Just pointing out that while they both use  cgi, TVD uses more, so you can't say one should be increased if the other is.

  29. Katie12273 August 2011 at 22:49

    it's hard for SPN to use many more special effect cause the CW just kept on cutting the budget, especially since it's not a show who's mainly for the audience they want.

    While on the other hand, you have show like VD who attract the teens of Twilight, so they can have more budget for attracting the core audience. We'll see if that change with the new CW leader

  36. CJ Allan3 August 2011 at 23:18

    maybe supernatural only got 1 extra episode to have a 2 hour finale. So if they do decide to get rid of it this year they can do what they did with smallville

    ReplyDelete
  37. SammyWsGirl3 August 2011 at 23:21

    LOL Totally agree with this one! Haha! I do remember Sera saying that they wanted to do a two-parter (like AHBL) for the S7 finale, so they had plans for 23 eps, it just be okay'd by the network.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Katie12273 August 2011 at 23:27

    :) If the ratings are OK or better, we have chances to get renew since the director's opinion count for a lot and the new leader of the CW is a SPN fan

  39. Luke James Farmer3 August 2011 at 23:30

  41. JMC003 August 2011 at 23:45

    If Supernatural does what it did last year in terms of ratings, it's coming back. Season 8 Premier will be episode 150. Networks love when series make it to certain milestones. Plus it would be the third show to hit 150 on the CW (Smallville and OTH). Padalecki has said he is with the show til the end.

    Plus starting the season with the 150th episode milestone is a pretty good promotional tool. But I also think if CW decides this is the last season, than they have to do the right thing an order an additional episode to make the 150th episode the final one.

  42. Chanelle Montpetit3 August 2011 at 23:49

  43. jensenfan19783 August 2011 at 23:49

    They were doing 23 to have a two hour finale.  The 24th episode is a gift from the CW.

  44. jensenfan19783 August 2011 at 23:51

    Sera said they had a 23 episode season already planned.  They talked about it at Comic Con.   23 episodes with a 2 hour season finale.   They now have 24 episodes.

  45. jensenfan19783 August 2011 at 23:52

    That ought to be wrong.  Sera had announced 23 weeks ago.

  46. jensenfan19783 August 2011 at 23:53

    That's not making sense.  They were given a 2 hour finale and talking 23 episodes in July, so what is this?

    ReplyDelete
  47. jensenfan19783 August 2011 at 23:57

    Wow, that is awesome, but what happened to Vampire Diaries?  That's surprising.  And, how could be talking having a two hour finale with 23 episodes back in  July and are now being told Supernatural is getting an extra episode?  Is the Finale a two hour single episode?  Just curious.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Rama van der Garde4 August 2011 at 00:00

    All people agreed to do one more season. Personally I think it's best to have a normal 22 episode order, that gives time for the story to unfold and end..

    ReplyDelete
  49. Bruce_F4 August 2011 at 00:18

    It's really not a big deal.  It won't change anything about the finale or the story arc of the season.  SPN will most likely be tacking on a relatively self-contained filler episode somewhere in the middle of the season.

    I'm loving it so much I am going to go try Nikita right now. When I moved my viewing night to Friday, I never had the opportunity to watch it and my sour grapes over losing my favorite viewing day led to me not even trying it on the website... But, if I am happy with the CW in general, I will give it a go.

    Good news for Supernatural and Nikita, watched the whole first season last few weeks and looking forward to season 2. I think if they gave TVD more episodes they would have to give more for Secret Circle too so they can show new episodes for both shows they are airing in one evening. Who knows, if Secret Circle does well maybe both TVD and SC will get additional eps.

  55. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:16

    It is by far their most popular show and the one they spend the most time promoting.  They seem to building it as the show to launch new shows off.

  56. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:18

    OK, so I was incredibly pleased to hear that Supernatural was getting 23 episodes.  Now I want it to be 24 like GG and 90210.  Certainly they have more than enough plot to fill a 24 episode order.  I guess I am never pleased.

  57. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:19

    Gossip Girl was a favorite of Dawn Ostroff.  However, with a new person in charge, it will be up to ratings and whether the CW wants to rebrand itself to go beyond the young women demo.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:20

    I don't think One Tree Hill will be getting additional episodes since it is advertised as the final season and because it starts midseason.  If the additional episodes are to reduce the midseason hiatus time, then OTH wouldn't fit the criteria.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:22

    Things definitely look up for Supernatural fans due to the change.  Let's see what happens when the promo for fall shows comes out.  It should be pretty soon.  If Supernatural gets more than 2 shots then I would say we've struck gold with the new leadership.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:24

    I'd say the best guess is that it is more expensive to shoot an episode of Supernatural or Nikita than it is of GG or 90210.  I doubt the writers or the stars had much to do with it.

  61. Michelle Louras4 August 2011 at 02:25

  62. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:27

    Maybe because the CW pays more per episode for VD than it does for Supernatural?  It would make sense that the WB charges them more for it since it gets higher ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:29

    They only have 23 episodes, not 24.  The CW is merely confirming what we already knew at Com-Con.  There will be 21 episodes plus a 2 hour finale, bringing the total to 23 episodes.  This is old news for SPN SpoilerTV fans.

  64. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:30

    AHBL was episodes 21 and 22.  This year the finale will be episodes 22 & 23.

  65. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:32

    There is no 24th episode.  The finale counts as 2 episodes because the actors have to work twice as long.  It counts as 2 episodes for their contracts.  there is nothing new here.  The two-hour finale is the gift from the CW.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:34

    Agreed.  If they were thinking Supernatural would end this year, they would hype it up as much as they did Smallville.  The fact that the CW head already asked if the leads were interested in doing season 8 pretty much means that it will come down to the ratings.  As long as SPN continues to be one of the highest rated shows on the CW, it will be renewed.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:38

    All this means is that the CW is behind in making an official announcement.  My guess is they didn't expect the news to be shared at Com-Con.  However, since a lot of their constituents don't follow Com-Con or probably even spoilers, it makes sense for them to include SPN in the announcement.  Com-Con is not official, so this is the official announcement of 23 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Dahne4 August 2011 at 02:40

    I love the idea of the 150th episode being the season 8 premiere.  It will give it that extra oomph and hopefully give the CW a new marketing ploy, ensuring that people have heard of SPN.  Here's hoping the ratings stay or increase.  I just wish I was a Nielsen family.

    According to the article, Vampire Diaries is sticking with 22 episodes because the show has a more demanding production schedule.  They wouldn't have time to do any more episodes.

  71. Bruce_F4 August 2011 at 02:51

    Yeah, I just reread the deadline article.  It doesn't say anything about 24 episodes anywhere.  It said the SPN episode total would be brought up to 23 like you said.

    After resisting Nikita, out of loyalty to the prior TV version of La Femme Nikita, I started watching the reruns this summer. It's pretty good although not as good as the first four seasons of LFN. Maggie Q is a good Nikita but I'm still not seeing any sizzle between "Michael and Nikita" that made LFN . Unfortunately I can't find any "free way" to watch eps 1.09 to 1.15 and I don't love the show enough to buy the episodes on Amazon VOD and I can

    I agree JMC00 and Daphne ... it would be a great promotional event to have the S8 premiere as episode #150, better to me than having a 24 episode season just so the S7 finale could be #150. Viewers and demos are always higher in the premieres than the finales. Too much other stuff interferes at finale time ("summer movies", graduations, more sports preemptions) - any milestone "boost" might be wasted,

    Very good news;  probably means that there will be a two-parter ep. in there somewhere, not necessarily at the end of the season, perhaps just before the Christmas break.
    I think that would be a good way to keep up the interest for the new year.

    Maybe the "space-ship" episode.
     I can just see Dean sprawled out in the captain's chair of a sleek black space-ship, named Impala, of course, with Sammy as first officer, Bobby as the crusty engineer,  Ellen at communications and Jo at the helm manning the rock-salt canons!!!  ( only teasing, only joking!!!!! )
