The CW Network has announced early renewals for three of its hit series for next season, including freshman hit Arrow, top-rated drama The Vampire Diaries and fan favorite Supernatural.
CW President Mark Pedowitz made the announcement today in Burbank. “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 these 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, series 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.
