THR Says Reaper Is Done.
Apr. 6th, 2009 09:41 amThe Hollywood Reporter is saying that Reaper creators/executive producers Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters have signed a two-year deal with 20th Century Fox TV that will require them to leave the on-the-bubble CW show.
Under the seven-figure pact, the duo will join a 20th TV series and develop projects for the studio. 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.
Reaper, which was given a 13-episode second season this year, has averaged 2 to 2.7 million viewers in its 8 p.m. Tuesday time slot, but has seen some recent gains in the 18-49 demo.
