The CW Bringing Reaper Back March 3

The CW is bringing back Reaper early says The Hollywood Reporter. The second season of the supernatural drama will return March 3, a couple of weeks sooner than originally announced.

The network is also changing the show’s time slot, moving it ahead of its previously announced lead-in, 90210. The move puts Reaper at 8 pm/ET Tuesdays followed by 90210, a shake-up that protects the teen soap from Fox’s American Idol. Reaper will still air its 13 episodes straight, through without repeats as originally planned.

To make way for Reaper, the CW also advanced its first-season finale date for Privileged. The show will conclude Feb. 24, having aired fewer repeats than originally planned. The network has not yet decided whether the drama will return next season.

90210 has been wrestling with American Idol in recent weeks. Yet it and Privileged enjoy the highest percentage of DVR gains among any show on any network.
