Can’t find anything online, just a lot of articles from last year. I love this show! Just the right mix of funny, scary and witty.

According to the Futon Critic site, it’s been [renewed but won’t show up until 2009](http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch.aspx?id=reaper). I heart this show too.

\*WHAT?!?!?!?!? \* End the season with a semi-cliffhanger, and then leave us waiting for more than a year? The Devil you say! 😉

It did get interrupted by the strike, and then was on the cusp of renewal for a long time. Like many other shows in that boat, it’s taking about a 10 month break between the last screened episode and the new season.

Yeah, I was disappointed to hear it was a mid-season replacement. It was one of the few that I watched consistently.
