CW Network renews Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, 90210, and America's Next Top Model
With America's Next Top Model ordered for both cycles next season, The CW's signature reality series will kick-off the Fall with its first-ever All-Star Edition, featuring the models who became breakout characters and who had the most memorable stories from past cycles. Additional details about the cast, judges and prizes for the All-Star cycle of Top Model will be announced at a later time.
The CW's bloodily addictive hit The Vampire Diaries was also given an early renewal, and in its sophomore season, remains the network's most-watched show (4.0 million viewers) and the network's number-one show among its target audience of women 18-34 (2.9/9).
Also given early pickups for next season are The CW's scandalous guilty pleasures Gossip Girl, the network's second most popular series with women 18-34 (2.8/7), and 90210, which posts some of TV's largest percent increases from DVR playback, more than doubling its women 18-34 live ratings once live+7 data is included.
The network also renewed fan favorite Supernatural, which enters its seventh season next year. In moving to Fridays last September, Supernatural immediately helped make The CW more competitive on the night and dramatically contributed to year-to-year gains on Friday of 66% in adults 18-34 and 60% in viewers.

@dan1: Yeah. It can be hard to try and find time to catch up on a whole series. Its not like its just a season, its six.

Although, with Smallville ending, I say move Nikita to Friday's and move Supernatural back to Thursday with Vampire Diaries. The two shoes mixed together more lightly. Its tough to go from a vampire-series to a secret-spy espionage show, ya know?

@dan1: The best thing about Supernatural is that each season has a different storyarc that I think is leading up to something big for the final season. I think these two brothers are more important than they think they are in the series.

@corey Then again, I adore and grew up on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, so maybe I should shut up :P

@corey I can't bring myself to even change the channel to CW. That channel just screams teenage girl to me. I know Supernatural is like the exception to that, and trust me, I WILL play catch up with the show eventually.

@dan1: Oh. Then sorry, dude. I defend shows like this really quickly. Normally because I'm the only guy who loves them so much. haha. But, yeah, I hope Supernatural goes to an 8th season. Thats pretty solid. I don't want it to be like Smallville and continue on, especially without 3 of their best characters.

@corey Was I comparing themes for the 2 series? Noooooo, I wasn't. I meant in terms of them going on and on.

@dan1 Supernatural and X-Files really don't even come close to being the same. Supernatural is more of a Heaven Vs. Hell demon-fighters kind of series. Was X-Files like that? Noooooooo. :P lol
Anyways, I'm happy about Supernatural. I liked Vampire Diaries last year but this season is a little too slow for me. I hope it all catches up next season or I'll stop watching. As for Gossip Girl, ugh.
