The CW remains the genre-friendliest place this year: Smallville, Supernatural, and the Vampire Diaries have all been renewed. That doesn’t leave much room for new entries, but click below for one exciting show and some scheduling details about old favorites.
Nikita (Thursday 9-10):
Official Description: When she was a deeply troubled teenager, Nikita was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division, who faked her execution and told her she was being given a second chance to start a new life and serve her country. What they didn’t tell her was that she was being trained as a spy and assassin. Ultimately, Nikita was betrayed and her dreams shattered by the only people she thought she could trust. Now, after three years in hiding, Nikita is seeking retribution and making it clear to her former bosses that she will stop at nothing to expose and destroy their covert operation. For the time being, however, Division continues to recruit and train other young people, erasing all evidence of their former lives and turning them into cold and efficient killers. One of these new recruits, Alex, is just beginning to understand what lies ahead for her and why the legendary Nikita made the desperate decision to run. The series stars Maggie Q as Nikita, Lyndsy Fonseca as Alex, Shane West as Michael, Aaron Stanford as Birkhoff, Ashton Holmes as Thom, Tiffany Hines as Jaden, with Melinda Clarke as Amanda and Xander Berkeley as Percy. Nikita is from Warner Bros. Television in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision, with executive producers Craig Silverstein (“Bones,” “K-Ville”), Danny Cannon (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Chuck”), McG (“Supernatural,” “Chuck,” “The O.C.,” “Charlie’s Angels”), and Peter Johnson (“Supernatural,” “Chuck”).
Billie reviewed the original La Femme Nikita and loved it enough to proselytize its awesomeness. Maybe we should all catch up over the summer?
In other CW news, the Vampire Diaries stays on Thursday from 8-9, followed by Nikita. Smallville and Supernatural have moved to Fridays at 8-9 and 9-10 respectively, which is wonderful news for my two-at-a-time DVR.
