playbackonline.ca/2015/02/10/two-new-cw-season-pickups-for-take-5-whizbang/ has changed its headline, too now. I think this is what happened: Apparently this Canadian site got information from the production company Take Five/Whizbang , that another 13 eps were ordered and published it before it was officially announced. For some reason the CW doesn’t want to confirm it yet, and now that some realized the info was leaked, they are rowing back (including C.Ashton) I believe the deal is done, but the CW wants to announce on their terms when they're ready. No company likes having announcements leaked before their own planned "official" announcement. If the deal is done, which I believe it is based on CA's tweet and Playback, the CW won't reverse the deal because it got leaked. But they will and are issuing a "gag order", the CW wants to announce according to their own plans and time table. I suspect they'll announce the official premier date of S3 and the renewal for S4 together. Maybe with something along the lines of BATB being their flagship summer show and reaffirming plans for an even bigger summer 2016. So we might not get official confirmation for a while.

I'm fairly certain that the info is true, however if they really haven't told the cast...hence Austin claiming he has no idea...then how embarrassing! I don't blame them for claiming it isn't true. I'm sure the CW just wants to do it on their terms.

I work for a Fortune 500 company, I know how these things work. Seen cases where things were leaked before our company's intended announcement. Things were denied, gag orders issued etc. But it didn't change the outcome of what was eventually announced officially.

I'm expecting they'll announce their Summer 2016 plans then (since they apparently have big plans). They'll probably announce any remaining renewals (BATB + any others), what shows are moving to summer along with any new pilot pickups.

I'm sure the CW just wants to do it on their terms. If Austin did know, he probably did the right thing from the CW's perspective. OTOH - CA, bless her heart, did the right thing for Beasties, but TPTB can't be happy with her tweet. Hope things will be ok for her.

Jill's tweet has also been deleted. Hope they do not get in trouble! We love our show and want news but not at the expense of getting any of the beloved cast and crew "getting a stern warning"! We want them all back safe and sound.

She wears her heart on her sleeve and wouldn’t have answered with a clear "yes" to the question "is this true”, if playbackonline would have been her only source of information about renewal. Very obviously she mistakenly thought now that Playback published it, it was made official, and she was allowed to talk about it too now

I also think it's true. The fact that the tweets have been deleted and the articles changed indicates it. If the information wasn't true, the articles wouldn't have been changed - the CW simply would have rectified it. Same with the pic with the ring a few weeks ago.

If this article/news was just gossip, the studio would have ignored it or the crew that have posted would not have done so by sending a twitter reply about "idle gossip". Here there is smoke and someone has been told not to call the fire brigade just yet. CW wants to call them on their own time. (Does anyone know if they pull such stunts with their other shows, specifically any that were on the fence? Just curious.) Oh the studios, they just like to play with us. Batting us around like a cat toy before they pounce! I'm willing to be a cat toy - as long as they keep our show going! Play with our hearts, ignore us, then flood us with news and pictures, then ignore us again. Just bring our show back!
