It's been gone so long some of you thought it was dead, but sources whisper tonight that devilishly good dramedy Reaper has just scored a spot on the CW's schedule this winter! So, yes, it will live on.

When will Reaper return? Does it have a strong lead-in? And what other highly anticipated midseason series also now have premiere dates?

According to my contacts, Reaper returns Tues., Mar. 17 (St. Patrick's Day!) and will air at 9 p.m., after 90210. (Privileged, which currently occupies that time slot, will have had its finale the week prior.) Season two of Reaper will run for 13 weeks straight and end in June.

Holler!
