The CW has moved their new series Cult away from Tuesday nights at 9.
The network announced today that starting on March 8, the series will be airing new episodes Fridays at 9PM following Nikita.
Effective immediately, repeats of other CW shows will take over Tuesdays at 9PM. On March 5, The CW will run an encore of Beauty And The Beast… perhaps a test to see how the show might do there for a second season in the Fall?
Here’s the press release:
February 27, 2013 (Burbank, CA) ─ CULT will move to its new night on Friday, March 8 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET), as investigative journalist Jeff Sefton (Matt Davis) searches for his missing brother and uncovers the dark underworld of the TV show “Cult” and its rabid fans. The series also stars Jessica Lucas as Skye Yarrow, Alona Tal as Kelly Collins and Robert Knepper as Billy Grimm.
Encore episodes of CW series will take over the Tuesday, 9:00-10:00 p.m. timeslot, beginning with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST on March 5.
CULT is from Fake Empire and Rockne S. O’Bannon Television in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, with executive producers Rockne S.
