CW - Orders 3 more Pilots

Jan 26, 2013

Share on Reddit
Joining The Originals, The Selection and Company Town are:

Reign, Oxygen and The Hundred


Reign, from CBS TV Studios, charts Mary Queen of Scots’ rise to power when she arrives in France as a 15-year-old, betrothed to Prince Francis, and with her three best friends as ladies-in-waiting. It details the secret history of survival at French Court amidst fierce foes, dark forces, and a world of sexual intrigue. Reign joins another CW pilot that is set in a kingdom, the Hunger Games-esque The Selection.

Oxygen, an alien drama in the vein of District 9, about an epic romance between a human girl and an alien boy when he and eight others of his kind are integrated into a suburban high school 10 years after they landed on Earth and were consigned to an internment camp. hails from Space Floor TV’s Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Scott Rosenberg and Olé Prods’ Richard Shepard, Sean Furst and Bryan Furst. It was written by Averill (The Good Wife). All will exec produce the CBS TV Studios project, based on a format developed by Daniel Gutman of Pow Wow and Spanish producer Isla Producciones.

The Hundred is set 97 years after a nuclear war has destroyed civilization. A spaceship housing the lone human survivors sends 100 juvenile delinquents back to Earth to investigate the possibility of re-colonizing the planet. The project is based on upcoming Alloy books written by Kass Morgan and published by Little, Brown. Warner Bros TV, which owns Alloy Entertainment, is producing, with Rothenberg and Alloy’s Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo executive producing.

    ...each new pilot they order makes me even more nervous about the shows I like that are currently on the chopping block.

    I've read they're ordering 8 pilots this year.

    where did you read that?

  7. Luis LJanuary 26, 2013 at 12:42 AM

    I wanted one of these:


    - Abbadon's Journal
    - Embrace
    - Amazon
    - The Tomorrow People


    I think Pedowitz said they were going to make 8 pilots. I hope 2 of the next pilots are from these ones.

    Not me. These pilots seem pretty bad. If anything, these pilots make me more confident that the current CW shows I watch will return.

    Ok CW like where you're going with the second two. But the first one is the show that is hurting the network. Need to start switching from W18-34 to A18-34 and A18-49

    I thought Amazon was pretty much confirmed as they were in the casting process

    no it is casting before being ordered to pilot it isnt ordered yet

    Is it a cast-contingent script order then?

    Of the CW shows I watch, Nikita is the one surefire contender for the chopping block. As calliebeckett mentioned, only the prospect of selling the show into syndication could get that show another season.

  16. calliebeckettJanuary 26, 2013 at 1:11 AM

    If it's any consolation, I think I read Pedowitz said he would give the veteran shows an ending...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Bruce_FJanuary 26, 2013 at 1:15 AM

    When it comes to Nikita, I don't need consolation. I feel damn lucky that this show got a third season to begin with. I'm grateful for every new episode of Nikita I get to see. By all rights, it should have been axed last year.

    I don't think Reign and Oxygen have a chance. Both are striving for the limited teen audience that has fled for ABC Family. Somehow I don't think historical drama or aliens are going to pull them away. Those interested in a good alien sci fi show are not likely to be excited about the teen romance angle. It feels like they are reaching for the two opposite ends of their viewership and they're likely to reach neither.


    The Hundred seems a little more CW demo friendly right now since dystopia is the only thing as hot as paranormal romance in YA literature these days. The idea of 100 teens alone in the world with little supervision should make it a little easier to market. Of course these are all generalities based on a limited description. I thought the Selection sounded promising last year until I got more details. So glad they retooled that one.

    True. I'm sure there are a few fans of shows on the CW that are (kind of) thankful that they are in the predicament they are in. So is NBC (until this year).

  20. calliebeckettJanuary 26, 2013 at 1:29 AM

    Any potential for any of the pilots to get a 2.0 in the demo?

  21. smallville944January 26, 2013 at 1:33 AM

    i think your forgetting that CW is a Teen aimed Network this is the same network that has done shows like 90210, Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, One Tree Hill, Melrose Place etc. the CW is a very teen centered network and always will be

  22. DahneJanuary 26, 2013 at 1:34 AM

    Not a chance. Sorry, but it's true. Stabilizing at a 1.7 would be an astonishing hit for the CW these days. That being said they desperately need at least 2 series to top Vampire Diaries in the ratings this season as a show of good faith to the affiliates.

  23. smallville944January 26, 2013 at 1:35 AM

    no those days at the CW are Gone and Dead every since 2011 the CW's ratings overall took a hit the CW will be lucky to have one of there shows even get a 1.0 Demo to be hones it will probaly no more then 0.7 though

    ReplyDelete
  24. smallville944January 26, 2013 at 1:36 AM

    i'm hoping they pickup amazon and pair it with Arrow and then Move Supernatural to another night and launch it with a new series

    ReplyDelete
  25. calliebeckettJanuary 26, 2013 at 1:38 AM

    I was more thinking that if The CW do heavy promoting for any of these pilots, could it interest people enough to check it out? So that it could get a 2.0 in the demo for at least the pilot.

    ReplyDelete
  26. DahneJanuary 26, 2013 at 1:39 AM

    But it isn't anymore. Gossip Girl, 90210, Carrie Diaries have tanked. Mark Pedowitz seems to know that this demo has been fleeing the Cw for ABC Family and MTV like I mentioned before. Arrow is their only new hit of the season which is why they are picking up so many supernatural and genre based shows. That is what is working for them,not the teen demo. I think Pedowitz is straddling two very different demos with these scripts and he's going to have to make a choice because he's going to get neither. In the end, my bet is that they will go more for genre based and less for teens because the teens simply are not there for the CW anymore. Arrow and Supernatural skew older. My guess is that people would be surprised at where Vampire Diaries skews too. Definitely more 20's and 30's than teens would be my guess.

  27. DahneJanuary 26, 2013 at 1:42 AM

    No. Not even the power of Sarah Michelle Gellar could get the CW a 2.0 demo and I know a lot of people who never watch the CW, who tried out one episode of Ringer. Unless they suddenly get a football game on the schedule, they aren't going to see that high again.

    Oxygen sounds kind of neat. (no surprise that would consider supporting Applebaum and Nemec)

    But Arrow has some appeal to teens too you know with relationships and party's I think there genre shows they will still get to appeal to teens I think the CW will always try to do that and GG and 90210 where once a huge hits but the show went down hill these last 2 seasons that's why the ratings are bad not the genre but the quality of the shows there's a reason TVD still has huge ratings

    my thought exactly, why not making a reboot of roswell 10 years later :/

  33. Angelique IannettaJanuary 26, 2013 at 5:12 AM

    Are you serious there going to create another show that is going to be a carbon copy of Roswell! So why not just bring it back! I don't get whats wrong the CW!

    ReplyDelete
  34. DahneJanuary 26, 2013 at 5:22 AM

    If I'm not mistaken Arrow has the oldest skewing audience of the CW (I'll have to look at Nikita ratings and check) and it's pretty male skewing too I thought. I don't think they will completely ditch the teen audience but they are not the focus they once were, not even close. It seems to me that the CW is looking for a vocal online audience who will also watch live and since the teens left en masse, they are looking to sci fi lovers to fill that void.

    As far as GG and 90210 go, almost all shows go downhill ratings wise as they grow older. It's TV entropy. However I think it's mostly that they were hit hard by the same thing that all networks are now facing - more viewing options. Broadcast shows have really been struggling with the onslaught of more cable choices for the last few years. For GG and 90210, that has been ABC Family stepping up its game to become destination TV and MTV offering more scripted fare. The pie is being divided into smaller and smaller amounts and viewers are fickle. The CW once had a pretty good lock on teen audiences but that is no longer the case. Dawn Ostroff thought they could build a foundation for the entire network but that has crumbled and the CW is in worse shape than it was because of it. Of course if they try to build an entire network on the genre crowd, that will eventually crumble too so here's hoping they learned their lesson the first go around.

    By the way, in 2011, Vampire Diaries had a Nielsen median age of 32. I'd guess it is skewing slightly higher now, so even its viewers aren't as young as many people suspect.

    They might think if they can secure a name actor to back the show then maybe they can move confidently with the project....? (I'm just speculating really)

  36. Folie-lexJanuary 26, 2013 at 7:05 AM

    I'm miffy about Reign. I might be bias but historical dramas should be a cable thing... or a BBC thing... and from the sounds of that they're taking a teen-primetime-soap approach to a historical drama and that just screams camp in a not good way. I'll be happy to be proven wrong about this though...


    The other two, honestly could work, I think.... They both seem kinda high concept-ish, so there's a first challenge right there. If done right, I think they have legs to them though.

    Well, so far I like The Originals and The Selection the most. The Hundred seems interesting but Reign anD Oxygen... just no!

    Hundred sounds awesome, other 2 not so much. It would be better if they ordered Sleepy Hollow

    CW is mostly know for showing local sporting games and comedy reruns in St. Louis.

  40. Cory SkeltonJanuary 26, 2013 at 9:52 PM

    Oxygen needs a name change and needs to be not as sappy as Roswell and it could work. The Hundred sounds similar (definitely different though) to the book series REMNANTS by K.A. Applegate.

  41. Luis LJanuary 26, 2013 at 11:24 PM

    I think Amazon should launch another night if not then Supernatural could move to Tuesdays 9. PM, all shows struggle there. I'm sure SPN would do fine.

    Maybe if the back-door pilot of The Originals air and then a new episode after The Vampire Diaries, they can duplicate the ratings and viewers?

  43. Angela RobinsonFebruary 17, 2013 at 8:13 PM

    Please give Oxygen a chance guys! Roswell had so much potential, hopefully this will go where Roswell should have went after season 1. As long as Beauty is not canceled i'm happy!
