Arrow and The Carrie Diaries are only two of five new series that the CW has ordered.

Katie Cassidy has been seen in many TV shows: Supernatural, Gossip Girl and the short-lived Melrose Place 2.0. All these shows have been on the CW and she returns to the CW for the 2012-2013 season. Hopefully this will be the show that sticks for her.
