“Arrow” has been renewed for Season 2. In addition to the The CW’s breakout hit, the network also announced early pickups for “The Vampire Diaries” and “Supernatural.”
“We said last year that one of our goals was to establish building blocks to grow on, and now with our new hit ‘Arrow’ and fan favorite ‘Supernatural’ on Wednesday night, and the continued success of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ on Thursday, we’ve been able to do that,” Mark Pedowitz, president of The CW, said in a statement. “Not only do ‘Arrow’, ‘Supernatural,’ and ‘The Vampire Diaries’ perform well on-air, they’re also extremely successful for us both digitally and socially. I’m thrilled to have all three shows returning to our schedule next season.”
Based on the DC Comics character “Green Arrow,” The CW’s “Arrow” has been one of the few hits of the 2012-2013 TV season. Starring Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, a rich playboy by day and mysterious vigilante by night, the series premiere currently holds the title of The CW’s most-watched show with 4.3 million viewers.
