The CW Upfronts: 2010/11
The final day of Upfronts week focuses on The CW network, which only has two new shows planned for 2010/11. Take a look below at promo's for cheerleading drama Hellcats and Nikita (a remake of the 1997 TV show La Femme Nikita, which was itself an adaptation of the 1990 Luc Besson movie Nikita):
HELLCATS (Wednesdays, 9|8c) A pumped-up drama about a young pre-law student (Aly Michalka, "Bandslam") whose world is turned upside-down when she loses her scholarship and has to join the college's competitive cheerleading squad. This fun, energetic series is a behind-the-scenes look at the drama, politics and pressure surrounding the football program at a Southern university. Ashley Tisdale ("High School Musical") also stars as a young woman who is totally committed to the cheerleading squad to realize her dreams. NIKITA (Thursdays, 9|8c) Nikita stars international action-film star and martial arts expert Maggie Q ("Mission Impossible III") in the title role as a spy and assassin for a top secret U.S. government agency, who rebels against the system that created her and will stop at nothing to bring their powerful operation to an end. Shane West ("E.R.") and Lyndsy Fonseca ("Kick Ass") also star.
