The CW Sets Finale Dates: Who's Done First?
The CW on Tuesday became the first broadcast network to unveil their season finale plan for spring, and the annual goodbye tour begins with The Carrie Diaries in early April.
All of the network's other series, however, will wrap their runs in May (the sweeps period runs April 25 to May 22), with Hart of Dixie leading the way and Nikita bringing up the rear. Thus far, only Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries and Arrow have been renewed for fall.
(Before anybody asks, ABC, CBS and Fox typically announce their finale schedules in mid- to late March, while NBC last year held out until April.)
All told, The CW's confirmed finale plan — which was first leaked by The Futon Critic – looks like this:
MONDAY, APRIL 8
8/7c The Carrie Diaries
TUESDAY, MAY 7
