Also write the creators of the show (Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters) as they are so confident the show will be canceled that they signed a deal for a new show with FOX that prohibits them from working on Reaper if it were to get renewed. Or just give up and be happy that at least Chuck got renewed.
Jeez, Eric, why so bitter? Can't someone support a show they like? I like both Reaper and Chuck and want them both to stick around. And by the way, Tara Butters says that she and Michele are slated to continue to work with Reaper if it gets renewed even along with their Fox contract.
Don't mean to be sound bitter cathy, but the only way those two are going to be involved anymore in Reaper is if the show both gets cancelled, and then gets picked up by fox. And fox decides to pay them the 7 figure deal they were getting to develop a new show, to keep working on it and air it on fox.
Not sure where you heard they plan to stay on reaper along their fox deal, but everything I've read says they are not allowed to do that: "Fazekas and Butters' exclusive deal with 20th TV effectively seals the fate of their bubble CW series as it calls for them to leave "Reaper," produced by ABC Studios, where the two had been based." That is from THR, and there are many other such papers reporting the same.
Sorry to burst your bubble, Eric, but the reports are assumptions only - much like the "Reaper is canceled because Tyler has a new show" when no, Tyler's contract puts Reaper first no matter what. And BTW - it was only *one* report - the Hollywood Reporter. Everyone else just copied that article over. Lack of work, y'know. Seems like you would identify.
Tara and Michele made sure to maintain their involvement with Reaper when they signed the Fox contract. They will remain consultants for the show. That's straight from the horse's mouth:
I didn't think Reaper was canceled because Tyler has a new show, I thought reaper was canceled because Entertainment Weekly said yesterday that Reaper was officially canceled. The press release should come out from CW on Thursday say reports.
Also Tyler's contract would allow him to stay on Reaper if it goes into syndication, but not if another network picks it up. I hate to be the bearer of bad news bringing light to this stuff, it does NOT mean the show is over. But according to reputable places, and contracts in place, the only way reaper might continue is either in syndication with tyler or on another network without, and I don't see the creators being allowed to stay attached in any official capacity.
Eric: "I thought reaper was canceled because Entertainment Weekly said yesterday that Reaper was officially canceled."
That's incorrect because it's incomplete. Reaper is not being picked up by the CW. That does not mean it is canceled. EW is conveniently ignoring THR's report that EW has even reported:
