The CW has renewed its two remaining bubble shows, giving additional seasons to both The Carrie Diaries and Nikita.
With the pickups, the CW has renewed nearly its entire lineup — including Arrow, The Vampire Diaries, Hart of Dixie, Supernatural and Beauty and the Beast. Rookies Cult and Emily Owens, M.D., were canceled earlier this year, while veterans 90210 and Gossip Girl came to a close this season.
The news comes mere hours after the youth-skewing network picked up four dramas to series, including sci-fi entries The 100, Star-Crossed (previously Oxygen), The Tomorrow People and departure Reign, the story of Mary Queen of Scots. Those four will join The Vampire Diaries’ spinoff The Originals on the CW’s 2013-14 schedule.
Episode orders for both series will be announced next week when the CW presents its lineup to Madison Avenue ad buyers in New York.

Other than the news and sporting events, Nikita is the only program I watched regularly. It will be very disappointing when it is over. Such an interesting premise.
Well, it is a good show, but prepare yourself for the last season…
