10.  REIGN (premieres Thursday, October 17 at 9p, CW)--Wonder if Lorde's 'Royals' will work its way into this intoxicating tale of young Mary Stuart who in history would go on to become Mary Queen of Scots.  The series will take us through Mary's teen years and her arranged engagement to Prince Francis of France.  Think Gossip Girl meets Dangerous Liasons.
