We’ve been reporting on all the networks’ new fall 2012 schedules over the past few days, with word from NBC, Fox, ABC, and CBS.  Today The CW announced their new lineup, and quite a few shakeups are taking place.  As far as returning series go, every single show has a new night and/or time except for The Vampire Diaries which remains on Thursday.  Supernatural moves to Wednesdays, Hart of Dixie now airs on Tuesdays, and 90210 is set for Mondays.  The highly anticipated Green Arrow TV show, Arrow, will air on Wednesdays at 8pm, while Beauty and the Beast will premiere on Thursdays after The Vampire Diaries.

One noticeable omission is the Sex and the City prequel series The Carrie Diaries.  That show won’t debut until January 2013.  Hit the jump to check out the full schedule for The CW.

Misha Collins Interview SUPERNATURAL

by Christina Radish    Posted: September 23rd, 2011 at 7:50 am

At the end of Season 6, on The CW drama Supernatural, fallen angel Castiel (Misha Collins) made a deal with the King of Hell to find the door to Purgatory and open it. In return, and against the warnings of Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles), he now harnesses the power of all monster souls after absorbing them, making him God-like. With no idea of how to stop Castiel, Season 7 finds everyone’s favorite demon hunters reeling from the loss of their friend, as they realize they are about to face an enemy more shrewd and adaptable than any they’ve ever fought.

During a recent interview, actor Misha Collins talked about the evolution of Castiel over the seasons, how being God is not all it’s cracked up to be, that he first learned Castiel was heading down this road at the end of Season 5, and how much he’s enjoyed working with co-star Mark Sheppard. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

BUFFY Alums Charisma Carpenter and James Marsters to Guest Star on SUPERNATURAL

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: August 17th, 2011 at 9:09 pm

Two worlds of superfans are on the verge of collision as Buffy the Vampire Slayer series alums Charisma Carpenter and James Marsters will both guest star in the fifth episode of the seventh season of Supernatural. The episode, titled “Shut Up, Dr. Phil,” will see the two playing husband and wife but obviously with a supernatural twist. Carpenter will play a witch on a rampage after Marsters’ character wrongs her in some way. Showrunner Sera Gamble describes their dynamic rather dramatically to TV Line:

“This episode is Bewitched gone wrong. [It was] all upside for this successful man while he was married to the witch, but now that he’s pissed her off, the whole town is paying the price.”

Sounds like it should be quite a fun reunion for Buffy fans, and a bit of a role reversal for the stars since Marsters played a vampire on the series, while Carpenter played a slayer. The new season of Supernatural starts Friday, September 23rd.

The CW President Mark Pedowitz Talks RINGER, SUPERNATURAL, NIKITA, GOSSIP GIRL, Developing More DC Superheroes, and More

by Christina Radish    Posted: August 5th, 2011 at 8:15 am

As part of the TCA Press Tour presentation for The CW, President Mark Pedowitz took some time to talk about returning faces for the Fall, increased episode orders for a number of their already-established shows, the interest in developing other DC Comics properties now that Smallville has ended, and the possibility of remakes and re-boots of previous projects. Here are the most interesting points:

• One of the big goals of The CW is for more original programming, so that their TV shows don’t take as long of a break between episodes around the holiday season.
• The new Fall season will kick off on Monday, September 12^th with a special on Lady Gaga.
• The CW is thrilled to be the home of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Rachel Bilson’s return to television, with Ringer (premiering on September 13^th) and Hart of Dixie (premiering on September 26^th), respectively.
• There will be more original episodes this season for returning series Supernatural, Nikita, Gossip Girl and 90210, and the final season for One Tree Hill is currently set for 13 episodes in mid-season.
• This upcoming season is not intended to be the final season of Supernatural. They are hoping to keep the series going, but will evaluate it, one season at a time.
• Mark Pedowitz is a big believer in keeping casts together and hopes that the network will be able to do just that with the cast of Gossip Girl, even though they have busy film careers.
• After the success of Smallville, the network is looking at possible DC Comics superheroes to develop for series next year.
• They are very receptive to new projects that Tom Welling may be developing, either as the star or producer.

The CW Orders More Episodes of GOSSIP GIRL, 90210, SUPERNATURAL, and NIKITA

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: August 3rd, 2011 at 3:17 pm

The season hasn’t even started yet, but The CW has preemptively decided to order more episodes of four of their returning series in spite of the fact that each of them already had a full season order. TV Line reports the network has ordered two more episodes for Gossip Girl and 90210 giving each series a 24-episode season while Supernatural and Nikita each got one more episode ordered for a 23-episode season. Apparently, this is an effort to keep the amount of reruns that show up during the mid-season to a minimum. If Vampire Diaries fans are wondering why more episodes weren’t ordered for the series, the post-production process makes additional episode orders a little more difficult (not to mention expensive). Otherwise, if you’re loving The CW and their ongoing series’, this news should come as a treat.

PaleyFest 2011 Line-Up: THE WALKING DEAD, TRUE BLOOD, GLEE, FREAKS & GEEKS/UNDECLARED, More

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: February 17th, 2011 at 8:13 pm

March is a great month for people who like things en masse.  There’s March Madness, of course, for fans of college basketball.  There’s SXSW for lovers of movies and/or music.  And for the TV geek, there’s PaleyFest.  This year’s line-up features a metric ton of panels for The Walking Dead, True Blood, White Collar, Hot in Cleveland, Parks & Recreation, Eastbound & Down, Supernatural, American Idol, Community, Glee, and Raising Hope.  But the big draw has to be “An Evening with Jimmy Fallon.”  Wait — that can’t be right.

Oh, no it’s the combined Freaks & Geeks/Undeclared panel moderated by Judd Apatow.  Those shows launched more than their share of careers, including Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, and Jason Segel — all official guests.  Freak James Franco isn’t listed, but given how busy he likes to keep, my fingers are crossed for a surprise appearance as one of the “additional members of the casts & creative teams.”

PaleyFest 2011 unfolds March 4-17 at the Saban Theatre in Los Angeles.  Hit the jump to see the full list of panelists.

by Christina Radish    Posted: February 7th, 2011 at 2:00 pm

On this week’s episode of the NBC drama The Cape, entitled “Goggles and Hicks,” actor Chad Lindberg plays Hicks, one half of a team of deadly tech-savvy assassins hired by Peter Fleming (James Frain) to track and destroy The Cape. Orwell (Summer Glau) faces some challenges against the team’s strong expertise, as the two men discover The Cape’s true identity of Vince Faraday (David Lyons).

During a recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, Chad Lindberg (best known for his work as Ash on The CW’s Supernatural) talked about his work on the episode, how it’s a very different role from what people have come to expect from him, how freeing it is to play a bad guy that really enjoys what he does, and how much he enjoyed working with David Lyons and James Frain, as well as Pruitt Taylor Vince who plays Goggles. He also talked about this week’s DVD/Blu-ray release of the re-imagining of the controversial film I Spit on Your Grave, in which he played the role of Matthew.
