(AP) The CW is adding new sci-fi and fantasy series to its 2013-14 schedule along with a drama about the teenage Mary, Queen of Scots.


The network also announced Thursday that it’s renewing “Nikita” and “The Carrie Diaries.” The CW had previously said it’s picking up “The Originals,” a spinoff of “The Vampire Diaries.”


The new series include the drama “The 100,” about 100 juvenile lawbreakers who are returned to a post-apocalyptic Earth to try to resettle it. The series is based on the Kass Moran novels and includes former “Grey’s Anatomy” star Isaiah Washington in its cast.
