Jane The Virgin hit a series high in Women 18-34 viewers.

The CW's plan to use Hart of Dixie's season premiere to boost the Jane The Virgin midseason finale worked.

Coming off last week's Golden Globe nominations for Best Comedy and Best Actress in a TV Comedy for star Gina Rodriguez, last night's episode of Jane The Virgin hit a new series high among W18-34 (0.8/3) and matched its series premiere highs in both A18-49 (0.6/2) and W18-49 (0.8/2). Jane The Virgin also matched its series high in A18-34 (0.5/2). It was the third most watched (1.27M) episode of the season.

Week to week, Jane The Virgin was up +25% in A18-34, +14% in W18-34, +20% in A18-49, +14% in W18-49, and +4% in total viewers.

Jane The Virgin outrated Fox in the hour among W18-34.

The season premiere of Hart Of Dixie rose +13% in total viewers (1.197M) over last season's premiere, and was even in A18-34 (0.4/1) and in A18-49 (0.4/1). It jumped +36% in total viewers over last season's finale.

'Hart of Dixie' Canceled?

Is Hart of Dixie being canceled?

Despite CW President Mark Pedowitz's claims over the summer that Hart of Dixie fans shouldn't read into the show's shortened episode order as an impending cancellation, the evidence is beginning to stack up.

Over the last couple of weeks, stars Wilson Bethel and Scott Porter have posted less-than-subtle tweets suggesting Dixie's upcoming fourth season will be its last.

That's a wrap on Wilson & #3Amigos. Love these dudes. So proud. #TearsWereShed #HartOfDixie @WilsonBethel @1loveCress http://t.co/DWcoEzfmPb

Bethel has landed a series regular role on ABC's midseason drama The Astronaut Wives Club. He'll play Scott Carpenter, the easygoing husband of Yvonne Strahovski's Rene. He is slated to appear in eight of Wives' 10 episodes.

The actor recently closed a deal with Warner Bros. TV to write a drama project for The CW.

The CW 2014 Fall Schedule

The CW Network presented its 2014-15 broadcast schedule today to advertisers, affiliates and national media at New York City Center in New York City.

"This is a different CW than we were just a few years ago. Our audience is broader and more inclusive than it has ever been, and we are growing on-air and on all digital platforms," said Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW.

"We just finished our most-watched season in three years, and our schedule is as strong as it has ever been, with more vibrant and more diverse programming. Next season, with super hero action shows like "Arrow" and "The Flash," epic fantasies like "The Vampire Diaries" and "Reign," the apocalyptic worlds of "The Messengers" and "The 100," and the outrageous comedy of "Jane the Virgin" and "Whose Line Is It Anyway?," we will build and expand our audience even more, and keep our momentum going with the kind of high-octane, high-impact entertainment that our viewers love."

The CW will launch its fall season in October 2014, with premiere dates to be announced at a later time.
