CW renews Arrow, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural - Full Press Release

11 Feb 2013

Share on Reddit
Press Release: February 11, 2013 (Burbank, California) ? The CW Network has given early pickups to three of its hit series for next season, including freshman hit ARROW, its top-rated drama THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and fan favorite SUPERNATURAL, it was announced today by Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW. All three shows will return in Fall 2013.

“We said last year that one of our goals was to establish building blocks to grow on, and now with our new hit ARROW and fan favorite SUPERNATURAL on Wednesday night, and the continued success of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES on Thursday, we’ve been able to do that,” said Pedowitz. “Not only do ARROW, SUPERNATURAL, and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES perform well on-air, they’re also extremely successful for us both digitally and socially. I’m thrilled to have all three shows returning to our schedule next season.”

One of the true breakout hits of the season, ARROW posted The CW’s best series premiere since 2009 and currently stands as the network’s most watched show (4.3mil). Heading into its fifth season next fall, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES remains The CW’s highest rated series in target demographics, including adults 18-34 and women 18-34. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES also continues to be one of the network’s top performing shows digitally and socially; in fact, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES recently topped Trendrr’s list as network TV’s #1 social program for the week of January 21–27

The Winchester brothers of SUPERNATURAL will continue to fight the forces of evil for a ninth season. Since being paired with ARROW on Wednesday this year, SUPERNATURAL has seen a dramatic uptick in its ratings from last season, rising 15% among total viewers, 10% in adults 18-34 and 18% in adults 18-49.

    Hey, that's pretty cool. I haven't started Arrow yet (I will definitely watch it though, given the great feedback I've heard), and not up to date on TVD (I still have to watch season 3 !) or Supernatural (still have to watch season 1 :D), but I'm glad for these early, obvious renewals (less obvious would be Nikita's).

  37. smallville94411 February 2013 at 19:55

    I hope so cause ratings wise I don't know if they can afford another season they would be smarter to due an early cancellation and write a series finale to wrap everything up this season if they do renew it it will probably be for 8-10 episodes final season Like Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill Did

  39. isleofskye11 February 2013 at 20:00

    I agree. :)

    I'm crossing my fingers while writing this but I too would be willing to bet that they will almost certainly get a tenth season. Who knows, even more if all concerned are willing!

    Maybe even a film; why not! :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Janneke11 February 2013 at 20:03

    It would be smart to wrap things up this season. A few weeks ago, I read that the chances of a 8-10 episode season are slim and ratings wise I think it is smart to end this season. GG's ratings were dramatically low, that show should not have done a final season, was such a let down!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Megan_B11 February 2013 at 20:04

    Considering the love of the CW to give ''Final season'' to their veterans and considering the love of the new CW director for SPN, even if the ratings are very bad next year comparing to the others shows (which would be a big surprise), I'm guessing the S10 will be there for sure :)

    Since it wasn't listed as a final season, I am very confident that we will go to at least season 10.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Eidnoreid Pills11 February 2013 at 20:19

    That was a huge mistake on CW's part, being a 'flagship' show didn't help it out 1 bit, it needed to end, it certainly didn't need a waste of time shortened season.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Brenda11 February 2013 at 20:20

    I'm a Nikita fan, and I don't think that it will be certainly renewed at all. Actually, I'm pretty nervous about it. I mean I HOPE it does, but I don't think that just because syndication is coming into play that it's a done deal.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Janneke11 February 2013 at 20:24

    Exactly, so I am hoping they will not make the same mistake twice and air useless episode, while they could've aired an exciting new show. For example, they should've aired the Carrie Diaries from the beginning of the season instead of a "farewell" season of GG, most people choose new shows to watch in September/October, increase the odds that a new show succeeds by airing it sooner.

  50. Eidnoreid Pills11 February 2013 at 20:33

  55. CrimTV11 February 2013 at 21:24

    Gossip Girl's final season wasn't a waste of time because at least it was scoring 0.5's and 0.6's and couple 0.7's in the Season 5 warranting a renewal for a 6th and it still scored well for the series finale. However 90210 is scoring 0.3's and 0.4's.

    I agree, I love my boys (Sam, Dean, Cas).i really do, but we thought last season would be the last then it got picked up. Now this season, which i really felt would be the last,(and felt it should be) But once they started sending Cas to that creepy chick and talking Men of letters, I KNEW they were gonna get picked up....I mean i'll keep watching the show religiously like i have since the pilot til the series finale, but I feel they should end it. The episodes just don't seem as great anymore.I still love the show, and never missed an episode, but it's lost something....hopefully by the end of this season it'll pick up.

    ReplyDelete
  77. isleofskye12 February 2013 at 08:17

    I didn't watch the last seasons of Smallville so I can't give an opinion on those episodes, although I have read mixed comments about them, some good, some bad.

    However that was a different show altogether.
    It was a prequel that had a back story and a sell-by date. It had to stop before the 'adult' Superman came into being.

    Supernatural on the other hand has no limits.
    X
    Theoretically it could go on forever as the supernatural world is limitless and the future of the Winchester brothers is still to be written.
    X
    However, it's true that the episodes have to be gripping and inspiring to keep the audience's interest, and that responsibility is all on the writers' shoiulders.

    If they manage to keep the quality of the show at its highest, IMO the show can continue until the ratings and all concerned want it to.

    Supernatural (MY BOYS) do not need Arrow or any other show for a boost in ratings. I agree that Wednesday nights move however is fantastic..because on Thursday me and the gang at the office have our SPN discussion!! SPN can have many more seasons if they stick to the cases and finally end the tablet -demon-angel business. The boys finally have a home that suits both of them and I feel for once they are really at peace with the hunting/men of letters family business. SPN is LEGACY all the way!

  88. Shannon14 February 2013 at 15:03

    I'm hoping not. Sorry....I don't want them to touch that. I was glad to watch Smallville as it went for 10, no CW(wb) show has ever done that. And I was soooo impressed that Smallville did.....Supernatural on the other hand, IF they make it to 10, I feel they'll just kinda steal Smallville's thunder, unintentionally of course, but seriously sometimes when I'm watching an episode, I swear Jared and Jensen just look bored. I know they love their jobs, they love us, they love and appreciate what we've done for them, etc. etc. But I feel 10 years would be too long for them, and they probably want to go in new directions. Yea they've done a couple movies(which bombed terribly) and Jensen is into directing, but still, maybe they want to move on to other things, every actor does.....idk, maybe I just want them to feel like they need a challenge, with much better storylines and that hasn't really happened in this season yet, as far as I'm concerned. JMHO.....if you guys don't see it that's fine. But sometimes I feel that it's dragging,(I feel the same way about Bones) I mean they're already talking about closing the gates of hell forever, what's next for season 9?? Taking down Crowley once and for all, actually finding God?? Hell making Cas human permanently?? Bringing all the people they couldn't save back to life, ex. Bobby, John, Mary, Jo, Ellen?? To me it's just stretching, and I see no more story after this season. When 9th season comes....the writers better bring it!!
