Nikita may be facing a challenge from someone tougher than Percy — ratings.
The first two episodes of Nikita Season 3 have scored fairly low on live overnight numbers, as far as total viewers and in the key 18-49 demographic… and while new episodes are still scheduled for November 2 and November 9, the show will be taking [at least] two weeks off after that.
November 16 will instead offer a second hour of America’s Next Top Model, with “never before seen clips” from the current cycle. Then, November 23 features a holiday special, as many CW shows are pre-empted for the holiday season. In the case of Friday at 9PM on the 23rd, we’ll be getting “The Happy Elf.”
It is possible that ratings had nothing to do with these pre-emptions… regardless, we will let you know as soon as we have a rescheduled air date for “The Sword’s Edge,” the Nikita episode originally scheduled for November 16.
