The CW has added a further three pilots to their slate for 2012, in addition to Farscape creator Rockne S. O’Bannon’s Cult.

As expected, the new version of DC’s Green Arrow, simply entitled Arrow, has been picked up, as has the new version of the 1980s series Beauty and the Beast. Described as “loosely based” on the CBS show starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman, the 21st Century Beauty and the Beast is a “modern day romantic love story with a procedural twist” with a script by Jennifer Levin and Sherri Cooper.

The CW’s other pilot is The Carrie Diaries, based on Candace Bushnell’s prequel novel to Sex and the City.
