The CW’s Fall Schedule: Sarah Michelle Gellar Back on Tuesdays, Nikita Makes Move
Annnnnd… the annual, whirlwind upfronts week begins winding down now with The CW’s announcement of its plan for the 2011-12 TV season.
The highlights: Sarah Michelle Gellar’s much-awaited return to television finds her on a very familiar night. Ringer will air 8/7c on Tuesdays, the same night Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired during its run on CW predecessor The WB.
As for The CW’s other scripted pick-ups, Hart of Dixie (starring The O.C.‘s Rachel Bilson) has been slotted for Mondays at 9 pm, following Gossip Girl, effectively creating a night of TV exec-produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.
Similarly, The Secret Circle has predictably landed in the Thursdays-at-9 spot, after The Vampire Diaries — both shows are executive-produced by Kevin Williamson.
To make room for the newbies, 90210 is moving back to Tuesdays, airing before Ringer, while Nikita, as anticipated, will now kick ass on Fridays at 8 pm, leading into Supernatural. That means that Nikita will now air against NBC’s Chuck, while Supernatural will compete with Fox’s Fringe and the new NBC genre series Grimm.
One Tree Hill, though renewed for 13 episodes, will ride the pine until midseason, as will the new reality series The Frame and Re-Modeled.
