Meanwhile, the network has canceled freshman dramas Ringer and The Secret Circle.

Ringer, the most buzzworthy of all the pilots coming into the fall season as it marked former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar’s return to series TV, failed to live up to its hype. It opened to a modest 2.8 million viewers and a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demo, a time-period success for The CW at the time. However, the freshman drama couldn’t hold its footing, despite airing in multiple windows following the early demise of reality effort H8R, ending its season with a 0.5 in the demo and 1.2 million viewers. Not helping the serialized drama’s case is Gellar’s pregnancy.

The Ringer actress, 35, and husband Freddie Prinze Jr., 36, are expecting their second child, PEOPLE confirms.

“She and Freddie are thrilled,” a source close to Gellar tells PEOPLE.

“They love their little girl more than anything in the world and know that love will only multiply. She is such a fantastic mom; it is just great news.”

The couple are already parents to 2-year-old daughter Charlotte Grace, who was born in September 2009.

The couple, who got married in 2002, said they were glad they waited seven years to become parents.

“You need to be at a point in your life where you can give up anything and everything for a child,” Gellar said after Charlotte’s birth. “Every day I look at her and I am in awe.”

At the time Gellar was focused on first-time motherhood, but even then she was thinking ahead.

“The minute you have a baby, everyone asks, ‘When are you going to have another one?,’ ” she said then.

Now she finally has the answer.

The Golden Globes will be handed out on January 15th, in a ceremony broadcast live on NBC beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Even as almost all CW ratings have plunged from last season, since 10/31 both 90210 and Ringer relative ratings have lifted them above the pack into the likely to be renewed range.

Why? The CW is double-pumping its new reality series, Remodeled (premiering Tuesday, Jan. 17 at 9/8c), by slotting multiple original and repeat installments during its first two weeks on the air.

As a result, Ringer will now resume with new episodes three weeks behind schedule on Jan. 31. Additionally, 90210‘s return has been pushed back a week to Jan. 17.

The good news: The delay means that Ringer will run nearly repeat-free through May.

Remodeled is a docu-series which follows modeling industry vet Paul Fisher on his quest to unite smaller agencies into one supersized unit, to be called The Network.

The winner will be revealed in the December 12th issue of TV Guide Magazine.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s increasingly addictive comeback vehicle got off to a solid start in the ratings last month, but the serial thriller started shedding viewers with each passing week. The downward trend reversed itself this week when the show saw increases of 33 percent in adults 18-49 and 15 percent in total viewers (to 1.7 million).

This is the first freshman series The CW has given a full-season order to. The jury is still out on fellow rookies Secret Circle and Hart of Dixie. (H8R was axed last week.)

For those keeping track at home, Ringer joins Fox’s New Girl, NBC’s Up All Night and Whitney, and CBS’ 2 Broke Girls in this fall’s full-season club.
