Confirmed: 'Reaper' back for second season

Cult drama Reaper has lived to a second season, The CW confirmed Monday.

Low-rated but critically acclaimed, the series had been expected to be axed but was thrown a lifeline as the network prepared to announce its 2008-09 lineup.

The show has been given a 13-episode pickup for midseason, most likely replacing Smallville to partner Supernatural on Thursday nights.
