The CW is starting their new show Life Unexpected in January, it will be taking the spot after One Tree Hill on Monday nights which is currently held by Gossip Girl. That means that Gossip Girl will be taking an break for a while. Life Unexpected is a show that they are saying will be liked by the fans of Privileged and Gilmore Girl. The show is described by Entertainment Weekly’s Ken Tucker, “It’s about about a teenager, Lux (Britt Robertson), who was abandoned at birth and reconnects with her birth parents, played by Roswell’s Shiri Appleby and Mad Men’s Kristoffer Polaha, who are no longer a couple but agree to assume parenting responsibilities when Lux reenters their lives.”
