Supernatural, which stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki as the monster-hunting Winchester brothers, will return for its eighth season.

32 Bubble Shows: Which will survive?

90210, a reboot of the '90s hit show Beverly Hills, 90210, will enter its fifth season. 

No word yet the network's remaining scripted shows, including veterans Gossip Girl and Nikita as well as freshman series The Secret Circle, Ringer and Hart of Dixie. But those shows' fates will be decided by the network's upfront presentation on May 17.
