The CW has announced their Fall 2010 premiere dates, with all of their shows premiering in September this year.

Here’s the official press release:

“AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL” CYCLE 15 AND NEW DRAMA “HELLCATS” KICK-OFF THE CW’S FIFTH BROADCAST SEASON ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED “NIKITA” TO PREMIERE FOLLOWING HIT

“THE VAMPIRE DIARIES” ON SEPTEMBER 9

June 30, 2010 (Burbank, CA) — The CW Network has set its fall premiere schedule, launching its fifth broadcast season with 10 hours of original programming of returning favorites and two new series.

On Wednesday, September 8, Cycle 15 of the hit reality series AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) kicks-off the 2010-2011 season, followed by the series premiere of new drama HELLCATS (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET).  HELLCATS is a pumped-up drama about a young pre-law student (Aly Michalka, “Bandslam”) whose world is turned upside-down when she loses her scholarship and has to join the college’s competitive cheerleading squad.  This fun, energetic series is a behind-the-scenes look at the drama, politics and pressure surrounding the football program at a Southern university.  Ashley Tisdale (“High School Musical”) also stars as a young woman who is totally committed to the cheerleading squad to realize her dreams.

On Thursday, September 9, the network’s #1 show, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) returns for a second season and leads into new action-drama series NIKITA (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET).  NIKITA stars international action-film star and martial arts expert Maggie Q (“Mission Impossible III”) in the title role as a spy and assassin for a top secret U.S. government agency, who rebels against the system that created her and will stop at nothing to bring their powerful operation to an end.

On Monday, September 13, viewers will get the best of both coasts when the third season premiere of 90210 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) leads into the season four premiere of GOSSIP GIRL (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET).

On Tuesday, September 14, two fan favorites go back-to-back when season eight of ONE TREE HILL (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) leads into the second season of LIFE UNEXPECTED (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET).

On Friday, September 24, SMALLVILLE (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) kicks-off its tenth and final season with the non-stop action and classic DC Comics characters viewers love, followed by the sixth season of SUPERNATURAL (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET).

The CW has now announced their Fall 2010 schedule, revealing where Hellcats and Nikita will land and also telling us that Supernatural is indeed moving to Fridays with Smallville.

Find the press release with the schedule below the cut.

Several online TV news sources are reporting that The CW has picked up additional seasons of “bubble series” One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected.

It has also been revealed that the network has put in a series order for the Tom Welling-produced Hellcats in addition to the all-but-already-announced Nikita. Hellcats stars Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale.

Sadly, no announcement has been made yet about the fate of Betwixt (aka Changelings), which has become a favorite choice among many KSiteTV and KryptonSite Forum readers. UPDATE: Deadline.com is now reporting Betwixt is “dead.”

The CW announces their Fall 2010 schedule on Thursday, May 20.

Talk about Hellcats on our already-created thread on the KryptonSite Forum!

Although One Tree Hill will still be in first position and top priority if it should be picked up for another season by The CW, series star Sophia Bush is hedging her bets by signing on to a new pilot called Southern Comforts.

She’ll play the daughter of Don Johnson and Mary Steenburgen in the series, which is about “a father whose grown kids move back in with him.” Her character’s name will be Haley, which is a name familiar to One Tree Hill fans already.

If One Tree Hill is indeed over with, this could mean good news for Life Unexpected fans who are hoping for a spot on next year’s CW schedule.

For the past twelve weeks, Life Unexpected has been a gem of a show that I have thoroughly enjoyed, even though I’m not a part of The CW’s target demographic.

Through a friend I was able to see the pilot a few months early, back under one of its earlier titles, Parental Discretion Advised. I was quickly surprised by the series’ many layers and elements – and the incredible work of the show’s cast, which features Britt Robertson, Shiri Appleby, Kristoffer Polaha, and Kerr Smith.

In this world where shows in the vein of Gossip Girl, 90210, and Melrose Place rule the roost at The CW, where some of the characters seem to exist only to create drama and sleep together, Life Unexpected has had heart. Yes, there is sex (that’s how Lux came into being in the first place). Yes, there are self-absorbed characters. And yes, there is drama. But creator Liz Tigelaar and the show’s cast and crew have brought us a show where characters do make mistakes. At any given week, you ARE going to dislike Character X or Character Y, and hey, that’s okay. They’ll probably redeem themselves. Even the ones like Bug, where you, like some of the characters on the show, might be quick to give up on.

The other important factor for Life Unexpected‘s critical success is chemistry. Somehow, Shiri Appleby as Cate can appear to be equally interested in Kerr Smith’s reliable Ryan or Kristoffer Polaha’s wild child Baze. She does it in such a way that you, like the character, don’t know what’s coming next, and it’s a rare mix that I don’t see much on television.

The show can hit you over the head a little with the drama for drama’s sake; but then again, the show is just that – a drama. I actually think it got to a better balance as the first season went on; the drama became less heavy-handed as time went on, though it could be that I just was so invested in the characters by that point I wasn’t bothered anymore.

Unfortunately, the show’s ratings aren’t totally as high as what The CW seems to want. The show has already moved timeslots, including being put up against Chuck in its final days. The successful Wednesday rerun – which probably should have moved to 9PM once Top Model returned – was eliminated, right as a lot of people were discovering the show and finding their Monday nights too crowded.

I know there are “Save Our Show” polls out there on several different websites. I’m not taking sides. Though I will say that Life Unexpected is one of two series where I will be extremely disappointed if they don’t return for another year. (The other is V). I want to see what happens next. I don’t know if Cate and Ryan get married tonight, but if they do, I want to see how Baze will react. How will Ryan cope with joining that “family?” Where’s Jones going to go if Austin Butler leaves for Betwixt? Will we see Cate’s dad again, unless he returns in the season finale? If there is no second year, I will seriously feel cheated to have none of these questions answered.

So far, Life Unexpected is one of only two “bubble” shows for The CW that is not yet renewed, the other being One Tree Hill. So there’s the choice: Pick up the newcomer show which has a long life ahead of it, or something that’s been on for so many years that it’s got to be expensive. I know what I’d pick.

Check the show out. If tonight’s season finale is already over where you are, look for it on CWTV.com, iTunes, and other legal outlets. When the DVD comes out, give it a try. You don’t have to be a woman to enjoy this – it’s a fun show for everyone, and deserves a little more time to really bloom. If you have checked it out already, good for you! Leave some comments, especially if you’re also a fan.

Thanks to PrimeTimeTVPromos on Youtube, here’s a look at the preview for the April 12 first season finale of The CW’s Life Unexpected:

Here are some more images from the April 12 first season finale of Life Unexpected.

Here are some images from the April 12 season (and hopefully not series) finale of Life Unexpected.

The title of the episode is “Love Unexpected.”

Will the wedding work out, or will it be the most disastrous TV wedding since Rhoda? Take a look at the pictures for some clues…

The CW has released the official description for the April 13 season finale of Life Unexpected, which is called “Love Unexpected.

Let’s hope this isn’t the end of the series.
