Early Pick-Ups for The CW

Following in the footsteps of ABC, CBS and NBC, the CW has announced early pick-ups for the majority of their television dramas. As expected, Smallville, Supernatural and newcomer Gossip Girl made the list, but many might be surprised to learn that ratings-challenged One Tree Hill will be back for another season as well.

Also receiving early pick-up notices: America's Next Top Model and Everybody Hates Chris.

The only two dramas waiting official notice are Reaper and Life is Wild.
