The CW network in the US has announced early renewals for six of their series, all of which will be returning next Autumn, and include 2 cult series:

Smallville
Supernatural

A big sigh of relief, methinks, from all Supernatural fans, who have been decidedly downbeat about the chances of renewal.

Yay The CW! :thumbsup:

As for Smallville, now that it will definitely be returning for an eighth season, fans can start to fret about who will or will not be returning.

Thee contracts for 3 of the main stars are up at the end of the current season. It's unknown which of these actors will return, though one of them has previously announced a desire to leave after season 7. ***

The fate of other shows like Reaper and Aliens in America still hangs in the balance, presumably so the network can see how new episodes perform over the coming weeks, post-writers’ strike.

I hope they keep Reaper. I quite like that. :thumbsup:
