I know, it’s not even officially summer yet, but before you know it we’re going to start seeing those holiday decorations at the drugstores. Think of it as helping you to plan. Along those lines, we are happy to report that The CW has announced its fall premiere dates for all of its shows, including its three sci-fi shows.

Grab your Sharpies and your September calendars; ready? The Vampire Diaries returns for all new episodes on Thursday, September 15 at 8/7c, followed by the premiere of its new witches drama The Secret Circle at 9/8c. Sam and Dean will be back on our screens in Supernatural a week and a day later, on Friday, September 23 at 9/8c following the return of the awesome women of Nikita, technically not a sci-fi show but pretty great anyway.
