CW Orders Full Season of Vampire Diaries, More Melrose Place
Vampire Diaries
The CW has picked up nine more episodes of The Vampire Diaries, for a total of 22.
The show, executive-produced by Dawson's Creek's Kevin Williamson, has been the CW's breakout hit, premiering Sept. 10 with 4.8 million viewers, the network's highest-rated series debut ever.
The Oct. 15 episode held strong with 3.9 million viewers, so the pickup was expected.
