The CW has renewed three of its drama series -- The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural and 90210 -- for the 2012-13 broadcast season, the network said Thursday.

Vampire Diaries (The CW's highest-rated show) will return for its fourth season, Supernatural for its eighth and 90210 for season five.

The three series join America's Next Top Model as the only CW series guaranteed to return next season so far. The network ordered eight drama pilots this year, more than it has had in development before, and will likely pick up at least three, as it did last year.
