The CW, which has a history of dragging its shows around and not bothering to give any indication of whether they’re going to be renewed or not until the last second (at best), has this year taken the approach of announcing renewals for some of its series early. 90210, America’s Next Top Model, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Smallville, and Supernatural will all be returning next fall.
“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,†said Dawn Ostroff, President, Entertainment, The CW. “By securing these signature hits for next season, we’re furthering our commitment to deliver high-quality, original programming to our viewers, advertisers and affiliates.â€
