The CW is the first network to announce their cancellations, renewals, and pickup for the new fall season.
First lets talk bad news; the shows that unfortunately making their way to the primetime graveyard.
The Carrie Diaries, The Tomorrow People, and Star-Crossed have all been cancelled by the network.
The Carrie Diaries, a prequel to Sex and the City, starred Annasophia Robb in the main role of Carrie Bradshaw following her journey through adolescence. The second season, which premiered this past fall, introduced us to a lovable young Samantha Jones, but sadly even Samantha couldn't help to save this show from disaster.
The Tomorrow People, a freshman sci-fi dram about humans with psychic abilities, did relatively well for CW standards when it premiered in the fall. During the first 15 episodes, the show was able to maintain an average viewership of 1.4 million, after which, the series saw a dive in viewers, barely reaching a million people per episode thereby solidifying its fate.
Star-Crossed, a sci-fi romance drama about an alien boy who falls in love with a human girl, struggled from the star to break the million viewer barrier. The series which debuted in February only aired 13 episodes before being cancelled by the CW.
In happier news, the CW has announced the renewals of three additional shows today. Hart of Dixie, The 100, and Beauty and the Beast (which was part of E! Save One Show), have all been renewed for an additional season.
The 100 debuted in March and had a strong go out of the gate, attracting 2.7 million viewers in its premiere episode, something which hasn't been done in the time slot since 2010. The viewership has fallen slightly from the premiere, averaging around 1.9 million viewers, which is still a good rating for the CW.
Hart of Dixie's renewal comes as a bit of surprise as it has averaged less than a million viewers each week. The latest episode of the comedy starring Rachel Bilson, Jamie King, and Scott Porter, drew a total of 660,000 viewers last Friday night.
Beauty and the Beast, which hasn't attracted over a million viewers at all for its second season, seems that it has E!'s Save One Show campaign to thank for its placement on the fall TV schedule. The show will finish airing its remaining six episodes this summer staring on June 2.
The three safe shows join Arrow, Reign, The Originals, The Vampire Diaries, and Supernatural, which all received early pickups from the network back in February.
