Ok I take this as confirmation that it will be here IN THE FALL vs. having to wait until January!

*Update* Just to be clear, I just realized the date on this article is back in March when we first heard it was picked up for another season but this is the first article I can remember reading where it specifically says it’s back in the fall.  I guess the time can always change but I’m assuming it’s back in the fall for now.

KFRE CW 59 fans can look forward to seeing some of their favorite CW shows return in the fall.

The CW announced this week that “Gossip Girl,” “One Tree Hill,” “Smallville,” “Supernatural,” “Everybody Hates Chris” And “America’s Next Top Model” will all be returning for the 2008-09 television season.

All six of the series received an early pick-up by the network on Monday.

The network’s most popular reality series, AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL will return with Tyra Banks for cycles 11 and 12. Returning dramas include the buzz-worthy freshman hit GOSSIP GIRL and ONE TREE HILL, which will be returning for a sixth season. These three series are the top-ranked shows on television with a concentration of women 18-34 viewers.

The Thursday night team of SMALLVILLE, which will begin its eighth season, and SUPERNATURAL, which will begin its fourth season were also renewed. In addition, the critically acclaimed comedy EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS will return for season four.

Make sure to dial in to the KFRE CW 59 this fall to check out all your returning favorites!
