The CW Picks Up THE ORIGINALS, Renews HART OF DIXIE and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

And we have our first official new series of the 2013-2014 season: The CW has picked up THE ORIGINALS, a spinoff of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, whose backdoor pilot just aired last night.

Additionally, The CW has granted renewals for HART OF DIXIE and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. (They join previously picked up shows ARROW, SUPERNATURAL, and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.) No word yet on the fate of NIKITA or THE CARRIE DIARIES.
