CW Seed might be less than a year old, but they have already found success in the world of the Internet. The online platform has announced 6 new series that will kick off this summer, as well as the return of a few fan favorites. Perhaps some of the biggest new series will be the Veronica Mars spin-off series Play It Again, Dick and Whose Line Is It Minis.
We will also see the return of series The P.E.T. Squad Files, CelebTV on CW, Husbands, and Very Mallory. Those series will air new episodes later on this year.

The CW's two newest originals have arrived. The TV network has released Wilson Bethel's L.A. Rangers and a web companion to Whose Line Is It Anyway? on its digital distribution platform, CW Seed. L.A. Rangers stars Bethel (best known for his role on The CW's Hart of Dixie) and Dugan O'Neal as a pair of park rangers who frequently day dream about starring in their favorite films. It's Bethel's second starring role on CW Seed--following 2012's Stupid Hype--and five of its ten episodes have been released at once. The first one includes homages to Westerns and The Matrix. Alongside L.A. Rangers, CW Seed is also now the home of Whose Line Is It Minis, which features short clips from the revived version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? Each Minis episode runs for just a minute or two and features a few improv scenes from the show's cast.

CW Seed, the digital-only studio of The CW, said today it has set summer premieres for La Rangers, created by and starring Hart Of Dixie star Wilson Bethel, and webisodes of the network’s improv show Whose Line Is It Anyway? Four more original series have landed summer bows: an untitled comedy from Alloy Entertainment, previously announced fashion series The Kelly Cutrone Project; The Real Backpackers, a companion to the broadcast series Backpackers; and Veronica Mars spinoff Play It Again, Dick. The new series will join new episodes of returning original series Husbands, The P.E.T. Squad Files, Very Mallory and CelebTV On The CW. Here are descriptions of the new shows: L.A. Rangers stars Bethel (“Hart of Dixie,” “Stupid Hype”) and his partner, director Dugan O’Neal, as two naïve, borderline delusional, wannabe filmmakers working as park rangers in La’s Griffith Park. Each episode follows them as they are pulled from their regular,...

Wilson Bethel is starring in his second CW web series. A year and a half after he took the lead role in Stupid Hype, the Hart of Dixie regular has released the trailer for L.A. Rangers, a comedy that sends up famous movies. L.A. Rangers is written and created by Bethel and Dugan O'Neal, who star as a pair of park rangers with dreams of becoming Hollywood filmmakers. To pass the time during their boring day jobs, they dream of their favorite movies and the versions they would make. The series trailer shows off a few of these homages, including Reservoir Dogs, The Matrix, Spirited Away, and The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. Just as Stupid Hype was a nostalgic celebration of the early 90s, L.A. Rangers will be a comedic look at some of Bethel and O'Neal's favorite films. "We loved the idea of doing something that pays homage to cinema,...

If you can't get enough of Wilson Bethel on "Hart of Dixie," then here's some good news for you: His new CW Seed series "L.A. Rangers" is set to debut on March 26.
After the success of his first web series "Stupid Hype" on The CW's digital platform, Bethel is at it again, this time focusing on his love of film. Bethel and his writing/producing partner Dugan O'Neal star in the new series as two aspiring filmmakers working a day job as park rangers in La. They dream of being "the next Martin Scorceses," but that goal might be a little out of their reach.
The series will follow them as they use their imaginations to transport themselves out of their boring lives and into different movies/genres each installment focuses on like Westerns, sci-fi, Quentin Tarantino, etc. "L.A. Rangers" will be seven episodes, each about 10 minutes long.

It’s summertime in Bluebell, Alabama and yet I end up sitting with Wilson Bethel this month in... Austin, Texas!
That's where the second annual Atx Television Festival was held and Bethel was on hand to sit in on a few panels for Hart of Dixie, as well as an actors’ Q&A with co-star Scott Porter, Lucas Neff (Raising Hope) and Nick Wechsler (Revenge).
When we sat down to chat one morning, Bethel had plenty discuss about about his character of Wade Kinsella, his workout ethic in the offseason and his new Web series. Read on for excerpts from our Q&A...

TV Fanatic: What would your hope be if you were kind of pulling the strings on Hart of Dixie Season 3. Would Wade finally get with Zoe for good or would you like to explore some other things?

While I was busy at the second annual Atx Television Festival in Austin last weekend, I managed to sit down with the folks making some of your favorite TV shows, gathering up scoop on their programs and, in the case of one actor, learning of his summer hiatus plans.

Top Chef contestants get a do-over, Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) harmonizes with Muppets and Hart of Dixie‘s Wilson Bethel finds his def flow. Plus, Squad 85, a parody police procedural, bursts onto the crime-web scene.
Neil’s Puppet Dreams | The Muppets + Nph = awesome. ‘Nuff said. If you need more convincing, here are some enticing deets. Harris’ real-life husband, David Burtka, also stars. When Neil sleeps, he dreams in puppets. Singing ensues. The whimsical tunes take a dark left turn, which leads to an oddly fun combination of toe-tapping and cringing. The series can be found on the Nerdist channel,...

The CW's digital studio has been busy recently, acquiring the rights to broadcast the long awaited Prom Queen: Homecoming within the Us. However, the network is not limiting itself to the creations of others. In addition, CW Digital will soon release an original series, titled Stupid Hype, which will chronicle the saga of an early 90s b-boy turned rapper. Stupid Hype stars Wilson Bethel, the heartthrob from the CW's Hart of Dixie series, as Hype, a cocky and overconfident break-dancer who loses everything in some sort of tragic accident and must restart his life as a battle rapper. Expect Stupid Hype to feature a heavy dose of parody and nostalgia; Hype is essentially a more erratic fictional version of Vanilla Ice. A music video for a song called 'Get Hype' was recently released on The CW's YouTube channel, and it seems as if the video's creators watched the 'Ice...
