The CW Greenlights Pilot from Gossip Girl Creators

The CW has ordered the pilot for a show about a show, courtesy of Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.

Titled Cult, the drama will center on the production assistant of a TV series - also titled Cult - who teams up with an investigative blogger because the pair suspect fans of the fictional series are actually carrying out crimes depicted on the program.

Cult is the first show on any network to have its pilot picked up. If it's officially ordered, look for the drama to be included on the network's fall schedule.
