CW’s Renews ONE TREE HILL, SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE, GOSSIP GIRL But Not PRIVILEGED?!
February 24, 2009 by Kath Skerry
The CW has just announced that it’s renewed a bevvy of its current lineup for next year including fan favorites SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE, ONE TREE HILL, GOSSIP GIRL and AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL and newbie 90210.
Noticeably absent was PRIVILEGED, a little show with a loyal fanbase that took critics by surprise when it premiered this Fall. PRIVILEGED has suffered from low ratings (which is saying a lot being that it airs on The CW) from the get go. Although it has struggled creatively in the second half of the season, it’s still one of my favorites of the new Fall shows. I don’t think the show is dead, but to say it’s on the bubble would be a bit of an understatement. I’m not one for those S.O.S. campaigns, but if you are then I say get on board because this show is going to need all the help it can. Let’s hope that tonight’s season finale is not the last we see of PRIVILEGED!!
Also on the bubble, according to TV Week is REAPER, THE GAME and EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS.
REAPER has been noticeable absent from The CW schedule for quite some time, but it will be returning on March 3rd with all new episodes. Stay tuned REAPER fans because I’ll be posting some info on the new season soon!
Three new shows expecting to be on The CW schedule next year are the remake of MELROSE PLACE (I can’t…), the GOSSIP GIRL spinoff featuring a young Lily van der Woodsen, and a new drama from Ashton Kutcher titled THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
I don’t watch much of The CW outside of GOSSIP GIRL and PRIVILEGED but I know these pickups are great news for a lot of GMMR readers.
Thoughts on the pick ups and those shows on the bubble?

News of Supernatural and OTH made my afternoon. Well, my year. Just knowing I have another 22 eps after this season of Supernatural makes me… well, happy.
Just really excited about Supernatural since it will probably be the last season.
And is Clark Kent Superman yet? Seriously, how old are the people on that show now?
Only watch Reaper. I have high hopes for season 2.
SUPERNATURAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[…] it very well could have been the series finale. The show has been struggling in the ratings and has not yet been given a green light for season two. After such a fabulous episode as last night’s, this is even harder to believe. I was in love […]
I am sooooo happy to hear OTH & GG will continue, but am extreeeemmmmely unhappy about Privileged – it’s also a fabulous show. I’m hooked and do not want it to end
I love Gossip Girl and Smallville! I also love Privilegd – it better get renewed!
Not to get all AV club/Star Wars Syndicate on the above poster who I know was just kidding but…Clark Kent didn’t officially become Superman (with the costume) until he was around 30. The kids on the show are in their mid-twenties. The shows creators have always said “no flights, no tights”. In other words, the show is about the journey to becoming the superhero we all know. The Clark on the show will never wear the costume. Can’t say I’d mind seeing Tom Welling in it though 🙂
