Encoring the show on Fridays should give the show an extra dose of exposure, but without original programming as a lead-in and with only two weeks of repeats planned, the effect on the Star-Crossed‘s Monday ratings will be negligible at best. The show was already asked to do quite a bit when it premiered against the Olympics with Beauty and the Beast, which has fallen in the ratings during season two, as its lead-out and with the second episode only getting a repeat as a lead-out, the odds were stacked too highly against it to become a solid network player.

Plus, it seems as if The CW is putting more focus on fellow midseason drama The 100, which isn’t set to premiere until March. That series, a post-apocalyptic drama about juvenile delinquents inhabiting a possibly contaminated Earth, is the more expensive of the two midseason dramas and gets one of the strongest lead-ins the network can provide, possibly with the intention of renewing the show and recouping the money they spent on sets. With Star-Crossed the decidedly cheaper of the two, a cancellation wouldn’t hit the network as hard in its pocketbook.

In addition to Lanter and Teegarden, Star-Crossed stars the likes of Malese Jow, Grey Damon, and Natalie Hall.

Star-Crossed airs Mondays at 8:00 on The CW. The network announced that the season finale of the show will be airing Monday, May 12th.

Starring Aimee Teegarden (Friday Night Lights) and Matt Lanter (90210), Star-Crossed tells the story of the Atrians crash-landing on Earth and the fierce battle that resulted, where the creatures were holed up in the Sector and unable to interact with or learn how to assimilate into human society. However, after ten years, an initiative has been passed to test human-Atrian interaction and a group of high school students will be the test subjects. Included in that group is Roman, whose life was saved after the landing by a little girl named Emery, who he comes face-to-face with for the first time since then once he enrolls at her school. Given the tension between the humans and Atrians, them even talking to one another in public, let alone reconnecting on a romantic level, could cause a tremendous stir and make things even worse, but could they be drawn to each other to such a degree where it doesn”t matter? Is there a chance that they try to make things work, even if they have to keep it a secret?

In addition to his role as Karl “Helo” Agathon on the Syfy space drama, Penikett has appeared on the likes of Dollhouse, Continuum, and Castle. He joins Jonathon Schaech (Ray Donovan) in recurring on the fantasy romance, with the latter playing the uncle to Matt Lanter”s Roman.

Star-Crossed is set to premiere sometime this midseason on The CW.

Currently unscheduled, Star-Crossed will both benefit from arriving later in the season, once several new shows have already failed and the network can more strategically schedule it, and be hindered by the absence from the fall schedule, as viewing habits can be more difficult to break than they’re given credit for. Should the show be placed with one of the more compatible series the network has (most notably, Beauty and the Beast), it might be able to find a foothold, though. The introduction of a full-length trailer, of which none of The CW’s new dramas has, could stir up more interest around the Romeo & Juliet-type series and give it the boost that neither 2013 midseason CW show received.

In addition to Lanter and Teegarden, Star-Crossed stars Grey Damon, Natalie Hall, Malese Jow, Titus Makin Jr., Chelsea Gilligan, and Greg Finley.
