Breaking: Nikita star Shane West has tweeted that the CW spy drama has been picked up for a season two.

The future was looking decent for the Maggie Q-led series, which has quickly developed a passionate fan following, but was fighting for space with One Tree Hill and Hellcats.

The CW has not yet made its official upfront presentation; however, I don't think any of us are going to argue with Michael, are we?

Stay tuned for updates if/as they become available.

Now we come to the end of the rollercoaster ride that is Nikita. I hated it, then I loved it, then my feelings got all lukewarm, and now...well, now I'm still kind of lukewarm.

Picking up where "Betrayals" left off, Alex has apparently killed Nikita. We know that's not the case, but Joey Greco tells Percy that cardiac arrest is what did our heroine in, which doesn't make him as happy as one might expect. Percy orders Alex back to Division, telling Amanda "that was unexpected," before leaving to visit Oversight.

Meanwhile, Michael is still hanging out in the basement. Birkhoff wal...

Maggie Q’s new movie Priest gives her another female fighter to play. Priestess (Q) belongs to a religious order who have turned to killing vampires in the future. That might give her an edge over TV’s superspy Nikita.

“The Priests have been given these heightened abilities,” Q said. “They’re not superheroes, but they’re touched by the hand of God. They don’t do what Superman or Spider-Man does, but their abilities are heightened. So Priestess has a gift and Nikita has had to earn her gifts. Priestess is pretty cool, but Nikita is very well armed. Where does her stuff come from? Where does...

Last week's Nikita was fairly forgettable except for that awesome scene that saw Amanda expose Alex as a traitor. It's time to pick that mayhem up where we left off!

Michael and Nikita are discussing how much time they have before Percy enacts his plan for world domination. "Whatever it is, if it fails with Percy's fingerprints on it, then he burns, and he knows that," Michael says. They know they need Birkhoff to help them break the encryption of the black boxes. She expects him to get a hold of the hacker, but he knows doing so will expose him for good. Then there's a now-require...

After tonight, there are only two episodes left in Nikita's first season. This would be the time to start the final push toward the end. Instead, we get an episode that reminds me of The X-Files' "Arcadia," only with more bullets and a lack of the supernatural.

Alex is telling Nikita how easy it would be to leave her apartment and her cover. Nikita doesn't think now is the time for that. "We can't afford to make a mistake," she says, but Alex insists that now that Michael has turned sides, she's no longer needed. I think I asked that same question awhile back...

Speaking of Michael...

Oh, Nikita. You are all about girl power this week. I just can't wait for the bigger and better things. Color me impatient.

Things are really awkward for Alex and Nathan, as Alex has told him her real story. He is not pleased with the entire "let's fake our deaths and run off together" idea. Just as he's leaving, Jaden shows up on her doorstep. Immediately, a three-way fight breaks out and ruins a lot of perfectly good dishware. This is obviously a nightmare.

Alex wakes up from it and is promptly summoned to Division by Michael, who is sending her on another mission he describes a...

After making his first appearance in "The Guardian," Devon Sawa became an instant favorite of Nikita fans everywhere. Since then, he's just kept coming back.

This week's "Into The Dark" marks Sawa's fourth appearance as rogue Division agent Owen, who was Nikita's (Maggie Q) second ally in the fight against the spy organization. To mark the occasion, he sat down with Starpulse to talk about the experience of Nikita.

Let's get the basic question out of the way first: what brought you to the role of Owen?

The action. I was all about that. When they said there's this show called Nikit...

After the underwhelming "Covenants," I was looking for Nikita to punch back this week. And it does to an extent - mostly because Devon Sawa steals the whole show.

Unsurprisingly, after all that ridiculous sexual tension, Nikita and Michael are having a little issue keeping their hands off each other. (Hey, in her defense, if Shane West wanted to sleep with me, I wouldn't turn that down!) Into this cuddly moment walks Owen. He's arrived with information on the black box that's in London, and Michael is not happy to see him. Especially since Nikita wants to go with him to London. "Yo...

Welcome back, Nikita. Now what?

Five years ago, we were in St. Petersburg, Russia, because all sorts of spy stuff happens in Russia. Nikita nearly shoots Michael when he shows up unannounced to help her with a mission. Back in the present day (picking up immediately from the end of "Echoes"), they are much less happy to see one another. He forces her to completely disarm - like that's really going to help him much - and accuses her of working for Gogol, the Russian spy organization. He tells her that if she doesn't get him Kasim's location in the next twenty-four hours, he's going...

WARNING: The following article contains a link to and discussion of spoilers for the April 7 episode of CW's Nikita. Do not read any further if you are attempting to avoid spoilers.

On Tuesday, The CW released a new promotional spot for their hit series Nikita. Being a fan of the show as well as a journalist, I clicked the link and viewed it - then immediately wished I hadn't.

The thirty-second clip advertising April 7th's return, the show's first new episode after a month-long hiatus, promises that "one moment" in the episode will "change everything." It then proceeds to show us said ...

I am generally opposed to TV episodes that take place in a character's head, as they lend themselves to bad writing. All too often, they are code for "we're going to use a bunch of half-baked, implausible ideas that wouldn't fly in normal canon, and/or tease fans with what you want by giving it to you without actually making it canon, and we're going to get away with it." This is not that episode. Not at all. In fact, by episode's end, my heart actually stopped.

The episode - and the drug trip - opens with Nikita giving Alex a pop quiz on Division lingo, mid-sparring match. When Ale...

Nikita knows how to hook me. Last week, it gave me some of my favorite scenes ever to be had on this show, and now this. It just keeps getting better.

I have never understood the appeal of clubbing, so I'm at a loss when it comes to Alex showing up at a club to be the date of an Internet rich kid named Dustin Zimmer. It doesn't take a genius to see why Division is interested in a rich computer geek (they want his shiny new cell phone), but it does put Alex in an uncomfortable position, considering she's an ex-junkie surrounded by booze and drugs. No, this isn't awkward at all. It get...

If you don't know who Xander Berkeley is, you haven't been paying attention for the last twenty-plus years. Currently playing very, very bad as Division's head honcho Percy on The CW's Nikita, Berkeley is an experienced character actor who seems to have been in literally everything (just to name a few: 24, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The X-Files, Gattaca). With all that history, there wasn't time to ask him all the burning questions that I've had since loving him on 24, but I managed to ferret out a few things about Nikita and grill him about his impressive career.

You stepped into a pre...

Now that Alex has settled into her new life and we've settled into the new direction of Nikita, it's time to get back to what this show does best: secrets, lies and a healthy dose of action.

In voiceover, Alex gives us (and Nikita) the specifics of her first mission as a full-fledged Division agent: assassinating Prince Eric of Georgia at a museum get-together, taking orders from Brendan Fehr from Roswell. When prompted, she also tells Nikita that Michael hasn't asked about her lately (in an operational context, of course), but when she asks Nikita what the deal is between them, Nikit...

He's been at the top of my Interview Wish List for five months - and that day has come. This afternoon, Nikita star Shane West and I sat down to dish about Michael's various and sundry character quirks, the show's rumored tonal shift, and what we may have missed, just ahead of tonight's all-new episode of the CW spy drama.

First, I should get this off my chest: when Nikita premiered, I was a little hard on your performance. Having seen more of your work since then, though, I should say that I was wrong and you were right, and I'm quite impressed with your work.

Really? Well, this is...

After spending time getting to know FOX on Tuesday, I handled three networks a few days later. Friday at the TCAs (Television Critics Association) was devoted to CBS and its two sister networks, Showtime and The CW. All three brought their midseason shows, as well as executive sessions and a CW panel devoted to the "kick-ass" women of their various series. Here's the dish from the Eye and beyond:

CBS President of Entertainment Nina Tassler was on the hot seat Friday morning. She was quizzed on CBS' emphasis on legal and procedural shows- what with three CSI's, two NC...

The stars came out en masse during Wednesday night's People's Choice Awards, and it appears that metallics, black, and white are the trendy hues this year.

Hollywood's finest walked the blue carpet in an array of subdued colors, although a select few stars stood out in bright attire.

Check out what the stars wore last night, and tell us who looked great and who didn't!

Nikita certainly left us with a lot to think about almost a month ago. Not to mention, it teased us with the return of Owen (Devon Sawa), the rogue agent introduced in the "The Guardian"/"Resistance" two-parter. In other words, this episode has a lot on its plate from the word "go." Episodes with the highest expectations can also turn out to be the best for a series; look at last week, which certainly paid off what it promised.

We open with an excuse to show Maggie Q in a swimming pool. Nikita is obviously still struggling with betraying Michael at the end of "One Way," and she ends...

Billboards promoting actress Maggie Q's new TV show Nikita are causing a controversy across America - because they're too sexy and too fiery.

The bosses of some malls and shopping areas have refused to put up the posters for fear of offending people. The varied billboards feature the scantily clad Live Free or Die Hard star holding a series of killer weapons.

Officials at top Los Angeles shopping center The Grove passed on an image of Q wearing a leather outfit. Malls in Chicago, Illinois and New York also passed on the image, according to Variety. Some outlets have now erected a repla...

You many not know Maggie Q yet, but she's one of the newest and sexiest stars of The CW's upcoming fall series "Nikita." If these pics are any indication, the show and its star are going to be hot!

"Nikita" stars Maggie in the title role as a spy and assassin for a top secret U.S. government agency, who rebels against the system that created her and will stop at nothing to bring their powerful operation to an end. The series debuts Thursday, Sept. 9.

The actress also starred alongside Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible III."

Aly & A.J. singer Aly Michalka and "High School Musical's" Ashley Tisdale helped the CW network debut their fall lineup on Thursday. The pair will star together in a high school cheerleader drama called "Hellcats." There's no word if ageless 24-year-old Tisdale will play a high school student in this one or if they'll be giving her a more mature role though.

The show will fit into one of the vacant slots in the upcoming fall schedule after bosses at the network confirmed that the the remake of the popular 80s nighttime soap "Melrose Place" was canceled.

Maggie Q (Mission: Impossible III, Live Free Or Die Hard) showed up at the 23rd Genesis Awards wearing a coral colored dress with a how-low-can-you-go neckline.

From the epic shootout in Heat to the Terminator battling the T-1000, everyone loves fight sequences. The two previously mentioned are some of the best of all time. The good fight scenes stand out and the bad ones are forgotten. But it’s the great ones that are seared into our memory.

Christopher Walken pranked the cast of new movie comedy Balls Of Fury by telling them it was his birthday. The movie star often pulls the birthday trick on the set of films, but most of his castmates in "Balls of Fury" were unaware of the joke.

Maggie Q, who knew all about Walken's prank, explains, "I'd heard he likes to lie on movie sets and say it's his birthday when it's not. Two months into the film, lo and behold I come to set one day at noon and there's a huge birthday cake in the make-up trailer. I was excited and I started eating it.

"I said, 'Who's birthday is it?' and ...

In the unsanctioned, underground, and unhinged world of extreme Ping-Pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Now, this outrageous new comedy serves up this secret world for the first time on-screen.

Down-and-out former professional Ping-Pong phenom Randy Daytona (Tony Award winner Dan Fogler) is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez (George Lopez) recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce back and recapture his former glory, and to smoke out his father's (Robert Patrick) killer – one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng (Acad...

Live Free Or Die Hard star Justin Long is convinced his action film co-star Maggie Q is on drugs because he's sure no one can sustain the injuries she suffered on the set and still stand. Long admits he spent much of the movie amazed by his new pal.

He says, "Most Hollywood actresses would be like 'Oh my God, I got a sliver, I got a sliver in my finger,' and Maggie would have welts and her finger would literally be hanging off and she was like, 'Hey, I'm excited to work.'

"She had the craziest attitude to the point where I was like, `She's definitely doing drugs - amphetamines! ...

"If it was possible to genetically engineer the perfect woman in the world... it would be Maggie Q... She should be cloned." Bruce Willis was impressed with his Live Free or Die Hard co-star.
