The final episode of Reaper was one of the most-watched of the season; but it may not matter as the series seems headed into the abyss, unless it’s saved by syndication or whoever programs The CW Sunday Night schedule next season, which doesn’t appear likely.

Tyler Labine won’t return either way, it appears, as he has been cast in Fox’s Sons of Tuscon. Which is too bad because Labine was a consistent high point of Reaper. Perhaps it’s better if Sam and company stay dead; otherwise Ray Wise’s Satan may need to look into some appetite suppressants that work for all the camera-gobbling he’s been doing the last two seasons. Great performance!
