CW Sneak Peek: Reaper to Stake Supernatural Slot?
The latest buzz from the CW, which steps up to the upfronts plate on Thursday, has Reaper — a supernatural-tinged drama about a bounty hunter employed by Satan — perhaps laying claim to the Thursdays-at-9, post-Smallville time slot. But fear not, Winchester fans: Variety says that Supernatural is expected to get that third-season order. UPDATE: S'ville, Supe' and OTH have all been officially picked up.Elsewhere at the No. 5 net:• O.C. creator Josh Schwartz's Gossip Girl (already ordered to series) looks poised to follow Top Model on Wednesdays at 9, necessitating a new berth for One Tree Hill.• Life is Wild, a family drama set at a South African game preserve, likely will inherit the Sunday time slot of that family drama not set at a South African game preserve, 7th Heaven. — Matt Webb Mitovich
