The CW has announced that two of television’s fan-favorite series, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries, have just been given early pick-ups for next season.

While this renewal announcement isn’t likely to surprise fans of either series, this early reveal speaks to the confidence that The CW has in its current lineup. And, more importantly, shows fans just how excited The CW is about continuing both series.

For the Vampire Diaries, this blood sucking series certainly has some form of invulnerability. Stemming from the brain of Scream creator Kevin Williamson, The Vampire Diaries quickly found its audience amongst the vampire-hungry television audience seeking storylines similar to that of Twilight and True Blood.

What’s more impressive is that The CW decided to put The Vampire Diaries up against television’s proverbial leviathan, American Idol – and it survived. Call it dumb-luck or an overt confidence in their core audience, but when up against American Idol, The Vampire Diaries has been able to hold on to almost 80% of its viewers. Considering both series tend to focus on the same audience demographic, that’s an extremely impressive feat.
