First Look At CW’s ‘Hart Of Dixie’ Starring Rachel Bilson

Mondays are going to be the Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage night on CW’s new fall lineup! The pair currently serve as executive producers on Gossip Girl (which will move to 8pm), and they will be debuting their new show Hart Of Dixie at 9pm starting this fall.

Hart Of Dixie reunites lead actress Rachel Bilson with The OC creator Josh Schwartz. The series takes place in Alabama, but is shooting not too far from the set of One Tree Hill in North Carolina.

We’ve got a sneak peek for you below and the official description below that! We’re super excited to see the pilot episode for this series – it reminds us a little bit of classic WB which we’ve been missing oh-so-much! Let us know your thoughts in the comment section at the bottom of the page!

Official Description:
Fast-talking New Yorker and brand new doctor Zoe Hart has it all figured out – after graduating top of her class from medical school, she’ll follow in her father’s footsteps and become a cardio-thoracic surgeon. But when her dreams fall apart, Zoe decides to accept an offer from a stranger, Dr. Harley Wilkes, to work with him at his small practice in Bluebell, Alabama. Zoe arrives in this small Gulf Coast town only to find that Harley has passed away and left his half of the medical practice to her in his will. She quickly finds that Southern hospitality isn’t always so hospitable – the other doctor in town, Brick Breeland, is less than pleased to be sharing the practice with this young outsider, and his daughter, Lemon, is a Southern belle whose sweet disposition turns sour when she meets Zoe. Zoe’s only allies are the mayor, former football star Lavon Hayes, her bad-boy neighbor Wade Kinsella, and handsome lawyer George Tucker – who just happens to be Lemon’s fiance. Zoe is out of her element and ready to pack her bags, but a surprise visit by her snobby New York mother leads to Zoe’s decision to stay in Bluebell for a while, discovering small-town life and a side of herself she hadn’t known was there.

The series stars Rachel Bilson as Dr. Zoe Hart, Jamie King as Lemon Breeland, Wilson Bethel as Wade Kinsella, Cress Williams as Lavon Hayes, McKaley Miller as Rose and Scott Porter as George Tucker. HART OF DIXIE is from Bonanza Productions Inc., in association with Fake Empire, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, with executive producers Leila Gerstein (“Gossip Girl,” “Eli Stone”), Josh Schwartz (“Gossip Girl,” “Chuck,” “The O.C.”), Stephanie Savage (“Gossip Girl,” “The O.C.”), Len Goldstein and Jason Ensler (“Gossip Girl,” “Chuck”). The pilot was directed by Jason Ensler.

  1. “A little Classic WB” part has me worried. LOL That normally means doom on CW. Giving the show a chance though because I love Rachel and I owe it to Josh. I mean he did give me Chuck. 😉

  2. That’s true. The shows that have felt like classic WB haven’t survived. Life Unexpected is a great example. It really blows my mind that more people can’t get into them – the quality is undeniable. They may not be as sexy as Gossip Girl or Vampire Diaries – but there’s something really awesome that shows like this have that those other shows don’t. And that’s a throw back to WB. 🙂 It still remains my favorite network even if it is gone. Dawsons Creek, Felicity, Jack & Jill, Roswell… Those were the days 🙂
