The network picked up another round of _Arrow_ (season 4) , _Jane the Virgin_ (season 2), _Reign_ (season 3), _Supernatural_ (season 11), _The 100_ (season 3), _The Flash_ (season 2), _The Originals_ (season 3) and _The Vampire Diaries_ (season 7). In other words: The CW just renewed every one of its fall shows. “Each of these series have helped define what The CW is today, a network that is home to smart, provocative, quality programming, targeting a savvy adult audience,” said CW president Mark Pedowitz. “By picking up these shows now, our executive producers can start planning next season’s storylines, and rolling these shows out throughout next season guarantees The CW will have more proven original series for our fall, midseason and summer 2016 line-ups.” Most of these shows were expected to get a renewal, though _Reign_ and _The 100_ were looking a bit iffy due to their modest ratings. _Jane the Virgin_ struggles in the ratings too, but given its Golden Globe nominations for comedy series and star Gina Rodriguez, the freshman dramedy was considered a lock for renewal. “\[_Jane_ is\] a quality show. You guys have supported it as a quality show. Give it time,” Pedowitz said. Overall, this represents the most series The CW has ever renewed, especially this early in the season, which raises the prospect of a more dynamic schedule for the network next season, once some new shows are added into the mix. Reporters asked Pedowitz about two shows that did not make the above list: _Hart of Dixie_ and _Beauty and the Beast_. In both cases, the executive was noncommittal. _Hart of Dixie_ is “not necessarily” canceled, he said. “We’re going to look at the ratings. We’ll get an opportunity to see how it plays with _Jane the Virgin_. If it ends, \[this season is\] a great series finale; if it doesn’t end, it’s a great _season_ finale. But we’re not committed one way or another.” _Beauty and the Beast_ will return in late May or early June, Pedowitz said, and the jury is still out on that show, too. Previously, The CW renewed _America’s Top Model_, which ranks as broadcast’s lowest-rated show, but the executive explained the series does “phenomenally well” via digital distribution channels.
