The CW Orders Additional Scripts for New Dramas 'Reign, 'The Originals,' 'Tomorrow People'

The network has ordered additional scripts from 'The Originals' after just two episodes, 'The Tomorrow People' after one episode and 'Reign' in advance of its series premiere next week. In its regular timeslot this Tuesday, 'The Originals' drew 1.92 million viewers, while 'The Tomorrow People' debuted with 2.3 million viewers on Wednesday.
'Reign' begins airing next Thursday.

Script orders are a vote of confidence by a network but don’t guarantee a follow-up episodic pickup and are often done when a show is solid and/or liked by the network brass but has not blown up in a big way to warrant a straight Back 9 order.
