The CW announced today early season renewals for some of its better performing series currently airing, including a fourth season for The Vampire Diaries, an eighth season for Supernatural, and fifth for 90210.
Since readers here love Gossip Girl so much, I would be remissed if I didn’t mention that it — along with all other series, besides Top Model — has yet to be picked up. The CW will make that announcement mid-May at upfronts.
What does this mean for the other series on the network’s roster? It’s not all that clear, at least to me. See, usually, networks give early season renewal orders to lock in all of the production crew, lest they get a job elsewhere, and to keep the creative of the story intact. This is, kind of, a weird time to announce a renewal, quite honestly. They might as well have just waited two more weeks at this point, so personally it doesn’t seem like a vote of confidence for the other series.
The Vampire Diaries is, of course, the network’s highest rated show; Supernatural does about as well as any other series on the network, but on Fridays; and 90210 is doing better (except for this week) than the New York equivalent Gossip Girl. It could be that talks are a bit delayed, so we don’t know. Just gotta wait ’til upfronts!

For the love of God why has 90210 been renewed? The show is dead ><
It believe they will get the same deal as OTH, and like OTH, the cast are actually up for contract renewals which is why that took so long to announce.
GG will most likely get a season 6 and we won't see it until 2013. I hoping Nikita gets renewed.
Nikita sure isn't going down without a fight, because the last 4-5 episodes were very good, much better than the mediocre first part of season 2. But it's doing horribly in the ratings department and it's not that strong with women audience. It's also probably not that cheap to produce because of the intense action scenes so I'm guessing it'll be the first one to go.
I have a feeling TSC will have it hard to be renewed too... I'm praying it will though, it started good, was a bit decent in the middle and now is amazing again. I'll cry if it doesn't get renewed, it's my favourite thing on tv atm.
I expected everyone of these to be renewed, and I have this feeling only Hart Of Dixie and GG will get a renewal. GG for giving the fans a worthy ending and HOD manages to attract more people than GG which is its lead-in. Ringer is already dead and I think they don't have the balls to give the other ones a renewal.
Even though Nikita and TSC are really amazing shows
