The CW announces its fall schedule Thursday, but has already greenlit five new hourlongs to series:
* “Arrow,” from longtime “Dawson’s Creek” showrunner Greg Berlanti (he also created ABC’s insipid “No Ordinary Family” and scripted the horrible “Green Lantern” movie), follows iconic DC superhero Oliver Queen, The Green Arrow. Stephen Amell (“Private Practice”) plays Ollie, Katie Cassidy (“Melrose Place,” “Gossip Girl”) plays Dinah Lance.
* “The Carrie Diaries,” a prequel to “Sex and the City” from writer-producer Amy Harris (“Sex and the City,” “Gossip Girl”), follows Carrie Bradshaw through her teen years in Connecticut. AnnaSophia Robb (“Jumper,” “Soul Surfer”) inherits the Sarah Jessica Parker role.
* “Beauty and the Beast,” from writer-producers Sherri Cooper and Jennifer Levin (“Brothers & Sisters,” “Unforgettable”), is a remake of the 1980s Linda Hamilton-Ron Perlman series, this time starring Kristin Kruek (“Smallville”) and Jay Ryan (“Terra Nova”).
* “First Cut,” from Jennie Snyder Urman (“Lipstick Jungle,” “90210”), is a medical drama starring Meryl Streep’s daughter Mamie Gummer (“Off The Map”).
* “Cult,” from Rockne S. O'Bannon (“SeaQuest,” “Farscape,” “The Triangle,” “V”), is a drama about fans who may be recreating the crimes featured on their favorite TV show. It stars Jessica Lucas (“Melrose Place,” “Friends With Benefits”).
They join recently renewed “The Vampire Diaries,” “90210,” “Nikita,” “Supernatural,” “Heart of Dixie” and “Gossip Girl.”
