I’ve come across few people who have watched Reaper – CW’s long canceled but still much beloved comedic drama series – and didn’t like its quirky style. And much like the fans of Firefly, they lament the short lifespan the series had before it was canceled, though to be fair it lasted longer than Firefly. It’s not much, but FEARnet is looking to make Reaper fans just a tad more happy by staging a reunion with some of the cast and crew as part of their acquisition of the show’s license. It’s not a new season, but this is as good as anyone could hope for.
FEARnet made an off-network licensing deal, giving them access to all 31 episodes of Reaper’s two-season run and will, according to Deadline, air a half-hour special where the cast and crew will fondly look back on the short-lived series, including »

One news piece that I was excited to receive, was the announcement of FEARnet‘s plans to start showing the cancelled way too soon TV show Reaper. It was a huge fan favorite, that like Fox’s Firefly or the CW’s Veronica Mars, was taken away from fans way before it should have.
Press Release:
“FEARnet adds a cult favorite to its Tuesday night Twisted Comedy Block with the wildly popular ABC Studios comedy series Reaper, licensing both seasons of the hour-long series for a complete 31 episode order. Reaper will be the lead-in program at 9:00 Pm Et/6:00 Pm Pt to FEARnet’s original half-hour comedy series Holliston, which premieres its second season that same night at 10:00 Pm Et/7:00 Pm Pt.

A "Reaper" reunion is happening. Seriously.
According to Deadline.com, FEARnet, which will also be home to reruns of the show, will host a half-hour reunion special featuring the original cast and crew discussing the low-rated cult-hit and its continued popularity.
"Reaper" originally aired for two seasons on The CW between 2007 and 2009. The series, which starred Bret Harrison, Tyler Labine and Missy Peregrym, followed Sam (Harrison), a bounty hunter of sorts for the devil who is tasked with tracking down escaped souls and returning them to Hell.
The series was never an outright ratings champ -- at the time -- but its numbers today would be considered healthy ... even on NBC.

"Reaper" reruns kick off on Tuesday, June 4 at 9 p.m. Et on FEARnet.

"Reaper" will come back from the grave this summer.
Cable network FEARnet has licensed the devil-themed comedy-drama in order to air the 31 episodes produced in the show's two-season run on The CW. In addition, FEARnet will produce and air a reunion special featuring several of the actors and crew involved with the show.
As first reported by Deadline, the basis of pick-up -- FEARnet's first off-network deal -- is the rather rabid community of fans devoted to "Reaper." Those fans are still out there nearly four years after The CW canceled the show in 2009.
"Many 'Reaper' viewers feel the show left too early, so we hope that they will enjoy our plans for the series and our 'Reaper' reunion special," FEARnet VP of programming and network operations Sarah Shannon said in a statement.
Following its FEARnet debut on June 4, "Reaper" will air Tuesdays at 9pm on the channel, »

Seth Gabel! I would have started this article with a long Woo Hoo if it wasn’t somewhat unprofessional. But please allow me to take a step back. Gothica (which by the way has absolutely nothing to do with the Halle Berry movie of the same name) is a pilot in development at ABC, described as a modern-day gothic horror soap surrounding the lives of Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and more. Excellent, right?
This is not to be confused with the Showtime straight-to-series (no pilot required) Penny Dreadful, which features the same characters but in a Victorian London setting, that we told you about back in January. Nor is it to be confused with the modern-day I, Frankenstein movie which in turn is not to be confused with the Frankenstein movie that might have Daniel Radcliffe in it, as we reported earlier today. Don’t worry, we »

More casting news has come our way for ABC's "Gothica" as "Fringe" alum Seth Gabel and one of our absolute favorite actresses, Melissa George, have signed on to the ever expanding cast. Read on for details.
Deadline reports that Gabel will play Roderick Usher, the district attorney and heir to the once-powerful Usher family who is carrying secrets, and George (pictured) will play Fiona Hunter, the series’ most formidable force, and everyone – from Grace Van Helsing (Janet Montgomery) to Dorian Gray (Chris Egan) to Victor Frankenstein (Tom Ellis) – will find their mettle and savvy tested by this deliciously cunning woman. Emma Booth joined the cast yesterday to play Frankenstein's bride, Madeline Usher.
The ABC drama pilot "Gothica," is co-produced by the ABC Studio-based Mark Gordon Co. with "Reaper" creators Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas serving as executive producers/showrunners, working alongside creator/executive producer Matt Lopez (The Sorcerer's Apprentice), who wrote the pilot. »
