The CW has made five new drama series pickups, with all early standouts making the cut. That includes the Sex And The City prequel The Carrie Diaries, the Green Arrow-themed Arrow, the contemporary reboot of the 1980s series Beauty and the Beast, mystery Cult and medical drama First Cut starring Mamie Gummer. Picking up five new scripted series is a record for the CW which, under new topper Mark Pedowitz, has vowed to increase the amount of originals on the air at any time, avoiding long spells of repeats.

Beauty And The Beast is exec produced by Jennifer Levin, Sherri Cooper, Bill Haber, Paul J. Witt & Tony Thomas, Ron Koslow and the pilot’s director Gary Fleder.

Can’t believe this!!! We’re so happy for Nic!!!! This is amazing! We can’t wait! Congrats to the cast & crew!!!!

Nicole Gale Anderson (Jonas) and newcomer Nina Lisandrello have been cast in the CW’s drama pilot Beauty And The Beast. Loosely based on the 1980s CBS series starring Linda Hamilton, CW’s Beauty And The Beast is described as a modern-day romantic love story with a procedural twist.
 It centers on Catherine (Kristin Kreuk), a tough-minded NYPD homicide detective and the Beast, Vincent Koslow, the survivor of a military experiment that went disastrously wrong. Lisandrello, repped by Leading Artists andInvictus Entertainment, will play Tess, Catherine’s partner and friend on the Homicide Squad. Anderson, repped by Paradigm and The Marshak/Zachary Co., will play Catherine’s younger sister. She has been recurring on ABC Family’s Make It or Break It.

As one of Hollywood’s most talented, rising stars under 25, actress Nicole Gale Anderson is keeping busy with a handful of projects, including ABC Family’s “Make It or Break It,” guest-starring roles on the ABC comedy “Happy Endings” and The CW’s “Ringer,” and two independent movies currently in post-production.

While she prepared for her recent trip to Nashville, Tennessee, where she was scheduled to film the independent movie “Lukewarm,” she took some time to talk about her whirlwind summer and the exciting new projects she is working on.

“I’m in a position in my career where I worked consistently with children’s programming and now I’m trying to gradually make my way into an older audience,” Anderson said. “So I’m definitely enjoying these different guest-starring roles.”

Nicole Anderson has a pretty impressive Disney/Nickelodeon resume under her belt, but this fall, she’ll be playing with the grownups on Sarah Michelle Gellar’s new series, Ringer.

The 21-year old actress has the trifecta of teenie-bopper guest spots, appearing on iCarly, Hannah Montana, and Zoey 101. She also had recurring roles on ABC Family’s Make It or Break It and Jonas. Nicole plays a character named Monica on Ringer, whom we assume will be a contemporary of Siobhan’s (Sarah Michelle Gellar) rebellious step-daughter Juliet (Zoey Deutch).

Stay tuned to Ringer, premiering Tuesday, Sept. 13, to see if we’re right!

Heads up to Happy Endings‘ female trio: The Mean Girls are coming! The ABC comedy has tapped The Secret Life of the American Teenager‘s Megan Park and Make It or Break It‘s Nicole Gale Anderson to play a pair of high school beeotches named Chloe and Madison who drop by Alex’s (Elisha Cuthbert) store and instantly connect with her and Penny (Casey Wilson).

Turns out the teen terrors decide they want to be just like Alex and Penny when they grow up — that is until Jane (Eliza Coupe) enters the picture and drives their cool quotient way down.

Park and Anderson are set to appear in Endings‘ second episode, slated to air Oct. 5.

The 17th annual Women Today is excited to host Disney and ABC Family star Nicole Anderson at the Knoxville Convention Center on Sunday, March 6, from 1:45-3:45 p.m. Anderson most recently appeared as a catty school bully in ABC Family’s original movie “Mean Girls 2,” which aired on Jan. 23 as the No. 1 cable television movie. “Mean Girls 2,” the sequel to the 2004 cult classic, was released to DVD and Blu-Ray Feb. 1.

Anderson is perhaps best known for her role as Macy Misa on the Disney Channel Original Series “JONAS L.A.” and for her recurring role on ABC Family’s “Make It or Break It.” She also has appeared on shows such as “Zoey 101,” “iCarly,” “Hannah Montana” and “Imagination Movers.” The 20-year-old is the first-ever international spokesperson for Underwriters Laboratories Youth Safety Smart Program, which encourages safe, environmental stewardship and promotes personal health and well-being.

The “Mean Girls 2” star enjoys quilting, painting, drawing, photography and shopping. Many of these hobbies are represented in the Women Today exhibits. Women Today has everything a woman is looking for in one location. From great shopping, fashion shows and home décor to information on women’s health and fitness, this event guarantees a fun weekend with friends. Women Today will take place March 4-6 at the Knoxville Convention Center.
