The CW network will look like the sum of its parts when the new network -- a successor of the soon-to-be-defunct UPN and WB Network -- launches in the fall with a mix of returning UPN and WB series and only two new offerings: drama Runaway and Girlfriends spinoff The Game. CW's pickups, in addition to Runaway and The Game, include a new drama from Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson. The soap Palm Springs was given a midseason order Tuesday. Veronica Mars and One Tree Hill, two of the three WB/UPN dramas that were in danger of cancellation, have been renewed for another season. WB's family drama Everwood will not make the switch to CW.
