Nikita remains on Fridays but in a different time slot at 9|8c following America’s Next Top Model. Beauty and the Beast takes over The Secret Circle’s post-Vampire Diaries position at 9|8c on Thursdays. Lastly, the highly anticipated Arrow ends Wednesday nights at 9|8c following Supernatural.
Some have wondered if The Carrie Diaries and/or Beauty and the Beast would go through a name change — former because there’s already another show with almost a similar title, The Vampire Diaries, and the latter because ABC also had a pilot with the same name. The Carrie Diaries kept it’s title and the ABC pilot wasn’t picked up so all is good. The show that did get a name change was the Mamie Gummer starrer, First Cut, which has now been retitled to Emily Owens, M.D.
Saved for mid-season are the shows The Carrie Diaries, which will assume Gossip Girl’s spot in January, and Matt Davis’ Cult.
