September 26, 2012 (Burbank, California) — The CW Network has ordered new seasons for two of its new reality series, including the amped-up musical chairs competition OH SIT! and the compelling docu-series set in the world of ballet BREAKING POINTE, it was announced today by Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW.  Premiere dates will be announced at a later time.

OH SIT! pits 12 thrill-seeking daredevils head to head, racing through five physically demanding, obstacle course-style eliminations, as they compete to claim a chair, to the sounds of a live band and guest musical artists.  At the end of the hour, only one contestant will be left sitting triumphant to seize the cash prize.  OH SIT! is created and executive produced by Phil Gurin (“The Singing Bee,” “Shark Tank,” “Weakest Link”), Richard Joel and Deena Dill.  The series is from The Gurin Company and 405 Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television.

BREAKING POINTE goes behind the stage curtain for an intense, unfiltered look at one of the most competitive ballet companies in the country, Ballet West, in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Featuring beautiful and striking on-stage performances, and the arduous journey to the titles of Prima Ballerina and her male counterpart Premier Danseur, BREAKING POINTE leaves no bun undone.  Viewers follow these young women and men, as they navigate life, working to find a perfect balance between their personal relationships and their unrelenting desire to be the absolute best ballet dancers in the world.  Beneath the beauty and glamour of the dance and costumes is a gritty dog-eat-dog world of extreme athleticism, focus, dedication, passion, pressure and, of course, the hunt for the unattainable…perfection.  BREAKING POINTE is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions.  Executive producers for BBC Worldwide Productions are Izzie Pick Ashcroft (“Dancing with the Stars”) and Jane Tranter (“Top Gear,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “Torchwood”).

Twitter Pitch: Olympic gymnast @McKaylaMaroney is impressed w/HART OF DIXIE, set to guest star on hit @CW_network drama series: http://bit.ly/Sk1sWq

BURBANK, Calif. (September 25, 2012) — From London, England, to BlueBell, Alabama, Olympic athlete McKayla Maroney’s fast-moving career is nothing to sneer at. The petite gymnast — a member of the gold medal–winning U.S. team in the 2012 Summer Olympics — will guest star in an upcoming episode of Hart of Dixie, the fish-out-of-water comedic drama about small-town living, big-city attitudes and complicated love triangles starring Rachel Bilson.

In the episode, Maroney will guest star as Tonya, a friend of Rose’s (played by recurring guest star McKaley Miller), who comes to Rose’s defense. Sounds like a winning role!

Airing Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW, the second season of Hart of Dixie — produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Fake Empire, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios — premieres October 2.
