‘Reaper’ Returns March 3
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009
The CW is making a big switcheroo, and as part it, bringing back Reaper a full 3 weeks earlier than originally announced.
Reaper will return on March 3, taking over the Tuesday, 8pm slot that 90210 has occupied. Don’t worry, though, 90210 isn’t going anywhere. It will simply slide into the 9pm slot. Privileged will end its season on February 24th to accommodate the earlier start date for Reaper. All 13 episodes of Reaper will air in a row, without repeats.
Of course, this isn’t necessarily good news for Reaper as it seems to be the sacrifice in the deal as it goes up against ratings giant American Idol.
Reaper stars Brett Harrison as Sam Oliver, a young man who finds out that his parents sold his soul to the Devil (Ray Wise) in order to save his father. As part of the deal, on his 21st birthday, Sam has to go to work for the Devil collecting escaped souls and returning them to Hell. He gets help from his buddies Sock (Tyler Labine) and Ben (Rick Gonzalez) but tries to keep his new job a secret from the girl he loves, Andi (Missy Peregrym).
If you haven’t watched the show before, give it a shot. You can catch up on last season’s episodes at CWtv.com
