Nothing too surprising was revealed when The CW announced its midseason schedule, except for the fact that Hellcats is moving to Tuesday nights so that the new series Shedding for the Wedding can be paired with the next new cycle of America's Next Top Model.

Life Unexpected will also be airing a two-hour series finale on January 18.  Technically they're calling it the season finale, but hope for another season is kind of slim.  Below is a list of the midseason schedule, along with the return dates for The CW's shows.
