And they say only "bad news" is distributed on Fridays. Not so for fans of Reaper! E's Kristin Dos Santos is reporting that CW has definitely renewed Reaper.
To quote Kristin: Say it with me now: halle-freaking-lujah! (Thank you, Beelzebub!)
Kristin further reports that CW will be picking up the 90210 remake (duh!) and that Aliens in America is definitely cancelled.
I'd been holding off on catching up on this season of Reaper until finding out whether it had been renewed and am now looking forward to catching up!
Kristin further reports there will be one additional pickup, either How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls (which she indicates is getting a title change) or Austin: Golden Hour. Title change or no, my money is on the filthy rich girls.
Update 5/12: Today Kristin is not as sure
Update 2: 5/12: Hollywood Reporter Confirms: Renewed for 13 episide run.






Any word on if Rob Thomas is attached to 90210? I sincerely hope not, of course.
Julia,
I have no idea. I know you (and some others, too) would prefer it if I would focus more on shows in development, but I’m really mostly just a numbers guy and don’t feel like I can bring anything to the table on that score versus the likes of Kristin, Michael Ausiello, Futon Critic, etc. If things get to the point where people just start giving us info on shows in development, we’ll certainly publish it. I’m just now getting my first review copy DVDs, so it’s an uphill climb and I imagine it will be a while before insiders at the CW feel like leaking us info.
Oh, I don’t expect you to have inside info. I was just wondering if there was news on that front that I had not heard. A question to your other readers as well as you. I haven’t heard anything since the first announcement that they were looking for him to write the pilot.
I get my Rob Thomas news from Canada…
It looks like you won’t like the result, Julia.

And I just found out that Jessica Walter is in the pilot. Why must people I like do projects I would rather scratch my out than watch?
Perhaps she considers the house in Malibu more important than your eyes
Hooray for reaper!
Best news I heard in weeks, The CW made the right move with giving Reaper another season..
