Beauty and the Beast, the new supernatural crime drama starring Kristin Kreuk just received an additional nine episodes from The CW. This is the second freshman drama to get a full order from the network this fall (the first was Arrow). So far, the show is averaging 2.4 million viewers and a 1.3 rating among adults 18-34, the network’s target demographic.
No decision has been made yet on Tuesday’s quirky doctor dramedy Emily Owens M.D. The network has Cult and Carrie Diaries waiting in the wings to premiere. So there will be some musical chair shuffling to see who is permanently on the schedule once Gossip Girl finishes, sources say that’s a decision that isfar from certain, since The CW’s seasons are pretty short and Cult could launch in late spring.
